I've read the previous threads. I am wondering... Has anyone ordered from them recently (last 6 months)? Are they more on the ball now? I am considering ordering from them but i don't want to have to wait months and months and months for what i order. I'm hoping some people can give some more recent positive reviews.

I'm just curious why you are considering Sierra given what you already know? What are they offering that makes you consider giving them money compared to any alternatives you have in mind?

Never posted on this site before but feel compelled to quickly jump in on this thread based on my recent experience with Chris/Sierra that just recently scabbed over.
My advice: Think twice, then think twice again.
I contacted Chris about a trailer for off road adventures with my little daughters. Ordered one from him on June 28, 2012 and at the same time coughed up the requisite 70% deposit, which was about $9,300. He unequivocally promised delivery in two months. Not in writing but I remember the conversation very well as it was a materially inducement for me to do the deal. He never came through. I laid low and checked in about 9/1 to see if could pick it up. Wasn't done. Excuses were all the same as he's been posting on his website and Facebook for a while now. When we first spoke he struck me as a solid hard working dude trying to grow a legit small business so I gave him the benefit of the doubt for a few months and stayed pretty hands off so the guy could do his work. I started to get anxious in late November when he stopped returning calls and went totally dark on me. As I told him in literally dozens and dozens of unanswered voicemails, texts and emails over several months: I was totally cool waiting for the quality craftsmanship in the product he promised and apparently delivered to others; however, I am not okay with someone holding that much of my money, materially blowing a commitment and then completely shining me off. I kept imagining a game of musical chairs where the song ends and I'm the only one left standing so early this year I hired a Nevada attorney. Yes, as my handle suggests, I am attorney too but that clearly wasn't doing me much good. I initially didn't want to crush his nuts, sue him or bring financial ruin to his family, I simply had to escalate to try to find some communication and some comfort that I would ultimately get the trailer I was promised. After all, kids were still pretty excited about it and I admittedly wasn't seeing the big picture because I really wanted the trailer too. Unfortunately, my lawyer's efforts played like the rerun of a bad sit com. Chris talked to him a bit, Chris made clear delivery promises, he blew those promises big time and then went dark on my lawyer as well. Ended up filing a claim in May or so with my Visa company who refunded the full amount of my deposit a few weeks ago. Nowhere in 13 month process did he in any way ever offer to refund my money or otherwise make things right. Just the facts.
I'm a "newbie" here and I know a lot of people on this site are big flag waivers for Chris and Sierra so feel free to flame me or delete me. I have thick skin. Just feels good to briefly tell my story (all of which is totally verifiable) if it keeps a hardworking guy from drinking the Sierra Koolaid and risking that much cash, time and brain damage.
