I ended up purchasing the RCI Front skid and Transmission skid powdercoated black. Installation was a breeze despite the rusted stock bolts when removing the cross beams over the catalytic converters. The skids are stout and sexy, plus Josh was a pleasure to work with and offers a t4r discount!
FYI - If you have the Schrockworks sliders, the RCI transfer case skid will NOT fit, as the sliders middle support beam interfers with the mounting pionts for the RCI skid.
More pics to come during this weekends offroad trip near Leadville.

looks great. just in case you are interested, the mounts on the rci transfer case skid can be notched to fit around the shrockworks sliders

I think I probably would have wussed out. How deep was that? And I will be up in the Breckenridge area end of July/August? Any details on places around there for a NOVICE to wheel.?

Yep, that's what Josh at RCI said too, but you'd have to cut steel which isn't something I know how to do. I just wanted to mention that for people as reference.

Your 4runner looks great and nicely put together, well thought out. I passed through Breckenridge/Frisco a few months back on my way from Miami to Seattle and the landscape out there is incredible. It looks like you're having a blast finding new places to run, keep posting more great pics of what you find.

Nice. I painted my Expeditioneers skid gun metal last week, can you tell yours is gun metal? Mine just looks black unless you're really looking hard, due to the shadows I guess.

Technically, I used dark gray gloss. It's dark enough not to stand out but still noticable. I just wanted to stick to the gray wheel theme here.

Looking good man, you thinking of getting a steel bumper next? It'd look amazing! BTW great pics as well, I see you're a fan of HDR photography.

I've been eyeing the Shrockworks bumper group buy...but you know how it goes. One mod leads to the next.

Haha I feel you, I actually have a bumper on order from Demello - should be ready to pickup in a month. The Shrockworks is nice as well, but there's no way I'd wait five times longer and still pay more too.
IIRC CBI and Perkins both offer front bumpers too.

Have you done this? I'd be curiuos to see photos. I was just thinking of RCI making a custom mount to take into consideration the bolt on slider placements.
