NEW Kifaru Frame & Suspension Review

[slyck68]

I ordered mine on July 14 and never received the initial ship date email like most of you did. Should I be concerned?

Still nothing here but I am trying to be patient. I ordered on July 14th with Aug 13th estimated ship date.

I leave on Sep 10th for two weeks of elk season and my dad is supposed to be using my current duplex. Full on panic mode if I don't get shipping notice by next Thursday.

Yeah, I'm in panic mode as I kinda need to be packing my bag tomorrow night. I may have to rig up some sort of ghetto load lifters if I have to rock my super old bag for this trip. I figured more than a 2 week buffer was plenty and am regretting selling my 7200. Anyone have a UPS uniform I can borrow to go shopping off the loading dock .

If anyone finds themselves in a real pinch, I have a couple Cabela's Alaskan frame packs that I could send out. It may not be your first choice but it's better than nothing.

Awful nice of you Colonel!

 

[colonel00]

They are just collecting dust so I'd rather see them help someone in need.

i should add that I leave for Alaska at 6am Tuesday so Monday would be the absolute latest I could get something out unfortunately.

The new frame is awesome I'm sure all will be happy.

I guess I can offer up my packs as well.. I have a badlands ox that I should honestly sell that someone could borrow and I have a kuiu pack someone can use if I can get my girlfriend to go pick up my new pack this week.

If in doubt then give them a call.

Are you sure the ship date isn't on the confirmation email? If it's not there or you didn't recieve confirmation I would definitely call them.

I'm thinking they sold a shit ton of these things, just think of it 20-30 a day, that is 100-150 packs a week and who knows maybe even more if they work Saturdays. I'm guessing 250+ will have been shipped by the end of this week or week two of them shipping.

Did anyone who has received theirs order Wolf? I'm wondering if my color choice is what's holding it up. I was one of the first to order, so I'm surprised I didn't get a call today.

I went turd brown but doubt that is holding it up as I think they had the shoulder harness and belts built in advance and the frame is black for all. I had my order in early I thought.

Makes sense... just looked up my order: 7/14 10:49 MT. I'm still hoping that they have it ready tomorrow.

I've got a Mystery Ranch Grizzly, 7200 ci, internal frame pack I could loan somebody in need, as long as you pay the shipping.

I ordered wolf and ordered the first day in the am, ship date the 11th. That might be a common denominator for the early guys that have not recieved theirs.

I ordered a 26" CB with Alum stays within a half hour of posting. It's so vanilla I can't believe I haven't heard or seen anything yet.

I would call them, I went with carbon arrow stays. Maybe they ran out of composite and aluminum stays.

Same here except arrow stays.

Out of curiosity, when did it get posted? I ordered on the phone so I didn't even realize it was the first day. Got lucky I guess, or unlucky depending on how you look at it (cause I wouldn't have sold my old pack yet if I had a later date).

It showed up available for sale on the website around noon-2p cst on 7/14.
