    On June 29th, 2024 we purchased a 4runner Baha bumper at the Overland show in the **** We were given the bumper and a bolt kit to take home with us. We were not given the front fender support brackets that are required and part of their installation video. We made an online claim on June 30th. This was their response "Your request for assistance has been received. Case #CASE622652 - "5th Gen ****** 4Runner Covert Baja Front Bumper" has been created for you. A member of our customer care team will respond to your case as soon as possible."We once again called and left a VM asking for assistance with no response to date. We are only looking to have the brackets sent to us.

    I bought a rack from them 3-4 years ago. The foot/mount for the rack broke along the weld line, and the 2nd foot broke the next day. This is a product quality issue. I do not have a receipt so they will not honor their warranty. Even if I did, they said they no longer make these parts. The rest of the rack is completely useless without these parts. I was told they would get back to me with pricing on a custom one. They never sent any more info. I have contacted them twice for an update and they will not answer.

    The rack is total garbage. I paid extra to have the rack powder coated and within two weeks rust was on multiple locations. One side of the rack sits higher than the other putting force on the bed rail and damaging the rail. I sent multiple messages and never got a response back. Never again do business with CBI

    ***** was originally advised that we would refund $250. She did not like that option so we told her that if she got an official, written quote sent over to our Warranty team, we can cover $300 of that paid to a shop. She was on board with that and we had no issues. She sent over a quote on 1/26 once we received this it was submitted to our Accounting team. I let her know that we would get $300 paid on it. She then emailed on 2/8 asking for an update. She was advised at that time that our Accounting Manager is out of office for a few weeks due to a surgery and that once he returned this would be paid directly to the shop. 
    We explained to her a couple of times again today that we pay shops directly for quotes as she was asking for us to pay her instead. If the shop she used is not the shop she provided the quote for we do not know who to pay and I would need an official quote. She sent us a picture of the bill for the ************-15.that she dropped her bumper off at. Which is different than the one she sent the quote for.
    She has left a bad review on ****** regrading this. We have tried to rectify and have asked as of today that we will pay the entire Powder coat cost to the shop directly if she removed her review. 

    Our Warranty Policy states that we do not cover Rust. But wanted to take care of her. We needed a quote from the shop she had do the work done at so that we can pay them. If the review is removed we will pay the enitre quote cost of $450.00 

    She has not removed the review.
