LED Aux Light Integrated Front Skid Plate Concept

[ORACLElights]

I was in touch with @ORACLElights today and a few weeks ago. The ship date continues to slip. I was told today my ship date is estimated (not guaranteed) as Dec-24th, therefore, no Christmas delivery. My frustration is we can all go on-line and see other Oracle dealers are offering the same deal today that we got on the forum months ago. Yet, months ago all of our credit cards were charged to offset the fabrication cost of the skid plate. I can say I will never finance another Oracle production run. I feel "used" as a Forum member to see the same deal now available to the general public and still have delivery delays. I hope this product is as great as claimed. I am just disappionted in how we were used/charged as a Forum.

Hello! I am sorry to hear you feel that way, and we certainly did not intend for that.

The groupbuy is a first come first serve benefit. Meaning anyone paying ahead of time will get this item before any other dealer or online store. We have limited quantities since its a new product, but as a group buy member you will get allocated first!

Regarding the delay in the product we are actively working to update you on this and doing our best to get this expedited. I believe we all know about the supply chain issues, as it is stated that the date can change in the group buy messaging.

Nevertheless I understand your frustration and know that we are doing our best to get this out earlier then the date shared with you.

Thank you for your patience and I hope we can continue to assist you in the future!

@ORACLElights my recommendation is to be open with this forum on supply chain issues, ect.... we can be your biggest advocate or a big neigh-Sayer on a product. I appreciate innovation and want to see more out-side of the box engineering of useful products. However, the marketing/sales side of the product need to be transparent and open with delivery and risks associated with delivery dates.

We completely understand and hope to continue to update you accordingly. I apologize this was not relayed to you.

The new update is 12/20 however we are working to ship this sooner.

We appreciate everyone's patience!

I appreciate the outreach separate from this thread. I may have been a bit harsh and I apologize for the emotional reaction to the delivery slip. We are all dealing with Supply Chain issues. I understand why they reached out to our forum to bring us in early. I want to continue to support the development of new JT accessories. Thank you for the customer contact.

Here are a couple of photos from different angles for reference:

Installed on a Rubicon 392

Received my skid plate LED today. Installation was very easy. Fitment is fine with my rigged ridge HD bumper, however I do have some concerns that the bumper hangs low enough to partially block some of the LEDs. I will need to wait until tonight to test.

Be sure and let us know how they look at night! I have my JTSD on order but plan on a set of these for sure. I also really like the bumper, what brand/model is that?

Rugged ridge HD subby with the optional x striker bar.

Anyone installed one of these with the Rugged Ridge Venator bumper? I like the concept but I'm worried that the "center bottom bumper shell" would be in the way. It's not a skid plate per se, but it's pretty close...

Just by looking at it I don't think it would work. The skid plate needs to mount to the place where the lower bumper shell mounts to.

Something else to consider for wiring them up; After removing the factory bumper (with fogs lights built in), the harness plug (and in-dash switch) for those OEM fogs is left unused. Why not just plug directly into that?

My OEM fog lights and connectors are still in use. I suppose it would be possible if you changed the connector on the skid to match.

Yeah, I should've specified that's not the case for everyone, only those of us who went with a bumper without fogs. Even a T-style jumper that fit between that junction of plugs would be a great time-saver for installation and keep the new lights and your fogs on 1 switch. Just a thought.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I need to look at their install instruction and compare to what my bumper is covering to confirm, but I'm pretty sure that it won't work.

Their install instructions where not great. Definitely was not for a JT. Also had nothing about what to do if you had aux switches but I figured it out.
