Funny coincidence....I just ordered a Titan Trekker ii to replace all the rotopacks I have strapped to my rear tire and clean up the rear end a bit.
Interesting...well maybe it means something different....??♂️? Anyway, it definitely switched from Pending recently though....Maybe someone cancelled or something. I was told that there's a very minimal chance that if this happened they might pick a local person to slide into the slot. That said, who knows. They have such a backlog that I have to believe that there's still local people in front of me.
Or maybe it means I'm just part of the pile up and it will be a longer wait. ???♂️
Just curious....did you place your order through the online portal or over the phone? This could be part of their online ordering system....maybe an automated timing thing if it goes past a certain time. ?
Same here. It is a great solution for extra fuel.
The AEV fuel caddy requires the AEV tire carrier. The AEV tire carrier fits the anniversary bumpers. The Titan tank will work with any carrier and is basically the same as the AEV (I think Titan makes the AEV caddy), but I think the Titan sticks out further. I was going to buy a Titan at one point because I had the Teraflex hinge and carrier already, but I eventually decided I really wanted the water tanks and flat step of the AEV rear bumper so I swapped out my anniversary rear bumper for the full AEV rear bumper, carrier, and fuel caddy—and sold the Teraflex hinge and carrier.
I placed my order online. When I ordered I was told the wait time was 6 months, which would have been Sept/Oct. But hey, at least I’ll be getting the Gen 3! One of their recent posts on Instagram seems to show a J30 with the newer, wider rear glass.
Do you live or camp in a cold climate? I've read that memory foam gets hard in the cold. I'm not sure if it's true or not.
I've slept on memory foam for 20 years in my home (Tempurpedic mattress) but I'm in San Diego. The few times a year it gets cold here the foam is extremely firm but seems to warm up and soften quickly. Cheap enough to try out.??♂️
I think they were working on the new Gen 3 top around the time you placed your order. I remember seeing the prototype mold around the time you ordered during one of my visits. That's around the time they told me it would be about a 9 month or more wait. I also noticed that the website was showing it for the JKU's while the JLUs seemed to still show 6 months. They told me they were selling over 2 to 1 JL to JK tops so that seemed to be where the priority was going and I'll bet helped push the change to the newer JK Gen 3 (among other reasons they mentioned).
Thanks for the clarification, Dan. I should have been more clear I wasn’t certain about that. The earlier Titan Trekkers used to look so nearly identical it was hard to imagine one facility wasn’t producing them. The Titan tanks have since tweaked their design—setting the two tanks apart more in looks—perhaps a legal issue if they were copying AEV that closely?
Ah yes, San Diego weather is a climate outlier for sure. The memory foam should be excellent most of the time in San Diego and Sydney where temperatures just never get very cold.
Will give it a shot and report back. I tend to travel to some pretty cold places. Should be interesting. ?????
Memory foam is rock hard at @25 degrees, I can attest to that. It softens up directly below you but the outer edges make you feel like you're in a mold! I spent the night at Craters of the Moon last spring on my way to Moab and it was COLD!!!
