Will the diff skids work with KDSS?
Awesome the skids will be aluminum, even SR5 owners can now get some.

I am impressed with the quality and appreciate ''options'' to the established products available (I have full RCI aluminum set on my Ghetto SR-5!) I like the coverage of the A-arm skids and look forward to the gas tank skid pics!

Will be posted Friday, working out the details now! We would have posted pricing today, but added steel as an option.

Almost every Ultra4 car and SCORE Trophy Truck run aluminum skid plates and they dont really have many issues.
Having said that, we listen to everyone's input and want to give you all the products that you want! Since you and a few others have mentioned it, we will offer the entire line of skid plates in your choice of 1/4" alum or 3/16" steel (Alum is raw with optional powdercoating, steel comes black powdercoated with optional colors). Steel will be close to 60lbs more than alum, but should be extremely stout!

Yes, they have the same footprint and mount locations. No problems using this mount with a single compressor. Will not fit the locker only ARB compressor.

Don't let us hold you up from making a purchase with another company as there are several good options available, but if you can wait just a little longer we will have MSRP as well as T4R member special pricing posted Friday.

Diff skid will work with KDSS. Due to demand, we are now offering them in steel AND aluminum!

Thank you! RCI makes a nice product and we had those on our shop 4Runner before switching to M.O.R.E.
We've got some other products to announce soon that will probably be right up your alley

Adding a steel option (3/16) makes a world of difference.
The design of the front is very close to the RCI's but more gussets and a bit wider front so that's a plus. Hard to see what's happening further back. The RCI transfer skid with the crossmember has been outstanding for me. But I was never sold on their gas tank so went Shrock and on their rLCA so I went Total Chaos there (to avoid drilling). The Shrock gas skid was really painful to install but has been great since.
Any plans for a rear differential skid? It is not as important as the others, but it can sure preserve the appearance of the differential and the drain plug.

Thank you for the feedback! We did try to maximized coverage with ours and they are a bit wider than other offerings without getting in the way of anything . We also designed them to be very easy for the home mechanic to install.
We are planning to release a rear diff skid, shock guards, and a few other items.

I have no experience in working with metal. I googled “aircraft grade aluminum” and have gotten different numbers. Can you advise the actual grade of the aluminum you use.
Thanks

Looks like quality stuff, just wish the oil pan hole would be bigger for us with big hands.
