Swamp Dog Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Will a version be released with wheels and decking? yes it is in the plan
Superpeterbilt Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 It looks great. What about axles and brakes?
bandit1 Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Looks cool... Ill wait though for the axle'd version
truckmodeller Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Awesome. I'll likely take a couple of these, but I'll wait for the axle'd version as well.
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Looks pretty darned cool.....Gotta get some money together....Not sure I'll make the preorder deadline, though.....
waterburybob Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Has anyone received this trailer ? if so what do you think of it? I am still waiting for the two I ordered into July now,( waiting to send balance owed) sent an E-mail couple weeks back and haven't heard back yet.
KJ790 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) There has been a big thing going on in a facebook group the last few days about this. This trailer was first advertised on there and a lot of people ordered one. The guy casting them kept saying they would ship the beginning of April, then he ran into some casting problems and said first week of May. Then he said that he would have them at NNL for people to pick up, but something came up last minute and he didn't make it there. About 2 weeks ago he advertised that he had 4 extra trailers for sale that would ship immediately. A few days ago someone called him out for not answering messages and it became a big thing. So it sounds like you aren't the only one that is left wondering when they will get theirs. I hope everyone gets theirs soon. Edited June 30, 2015 by KJ790
Guest Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 First off, let me say I do not have a dog in this fight. This type of situation has happened in the past, and unfortunately it has again. More than likely it will happen again in the future as well. The one bit of advice I can offer is to keep whatever communication that you might have with the seller/caster private. Bringing it out in the open on forums or groups will not resolve anything, it will only force the seller/caster to go into hiding. Making people aware of your dealings is a good thing, "buyer beware" can be a powerful tool when used correctly. I sincerly hope that everyone involved will receive their trailers or get their money back. I'm not saying to role over and play dead, keep the pressure on, but do so with some tact and diplomacy. Good Luck.
waterburybob Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I do have a dog in this fight it is called MONEY I do not understand your remark about tact and diplomacy and keeping it private, If I had not made my post I would not know what is going on with this castor. He has not answered my E-mail or has contacted ME AS TO WHAT THE DELAY IS .I am grateful to KJ Humphreys for letting me know (What I had suspected) was going on . I to hope with a little more time all orders will be filled and all will be happy,
Guest Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Calling someone out isn't going to solve your situation, thats were the tact and diplomacy comes into play.
keone2013 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 He will be shipping the trailers out this weekend. He said there was a big storm that hit his area and power was out. He is a man of his word and he will get them shipped out.
KJ790 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I don't think that asking if others have heard anything in a public forum is a big deal. Especially when you paid for something months ago and have not gotten a response to emails for a few weeks.

Perhaps your feelings might be different if the shoe was on the other foot, if you know what I mean.
KJ790 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Not at all. Of course I agree that the matter should always be taken up in private first. To go straight to the public without contacting me first is wrong in my opinion, but that is not the case here. I would expect someone to contact me privately first, but if I don't respond for weeks I would expect nothing less than someone to start asking around publicly. Sometimes others can help explain what is going on, or can help find a better way of contacting someone. I had this problem before when a seller had changed his email address and I did not know the new one. Robert didn't say anything negative, he was simply asking if anyone had any updates.

Guest Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Robert didn't say anything negative, he was simply asking if anyone had any updates. I never said that Robert made any negative comments. It was you that was, shall we say, "informative" as to what was going on with another caster.
KJ790 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Robert has the right to know what was going on. Travis' own words were that people were on a "witch hunt" for him. I have no problem with Travis, I have helped him out a few times in the past. Hopefully he gets these lowboys sorted out and shipped soon. I don't think he is out to rip anyone off at all, I think he just got backed up a bit.

waterburybob Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 After reading Keone lakes post I was hopefull that the trailer orders were starting to be shipped , so I sent an E-mail Sunday about this and have not received a reply ( I paid half as a deposit for two trailers) and have been waiting for E-mail asking for balance before shipping .this I have no problem with normal business practice, what REALLY upsets me is the lack of communication from him none ,.nada, zilch Someone on here thinks I should have kept this private , I DON'T AGREE., If he is a man of his word as someone else has said here I would have had my order by now or at least been told by him why he did not ship yet . the silence from him says a lot .If by chance I never get order I have learned A lesson . I guess at 68 years old I have become a bit to trusting .
redneckrigger Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Even though I am new to this forum, I DID order one of these trailers in early April. No reply to any inquiry for info, nothing. I AM hopeful to receive SOMETHING , but who knows when. I DO understand being backed up. Travis, simple communication will help. KJ, are YOU marketing your trailers yet? WANT ONE!

Travis is not making the trailers anymore. If you paid a deposit, I would contact Travis for a refund.
KJ790 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Tom, I am sold out of lowboys for the time being. I sold about 30 of them and then my molds started to wear out. Someday when I get time I might make some new molds and make a few more lowboy kits.
waterburybob Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) As of 9/24/ 15 I have not received a refund on the trailers,( I ordered two) after several attempts to find out when refund would be sent , ( last e-mail I sent was in July). I have given up hope of seeing one. I hope others have had better luck. Bob Edited September 26, 2015 by waterburybob wrong date
