Ok, unfortunately per SSO the aluminum mounts to the frame differently and as such the Stage 2 doesn't work. I'm hoping that if we get enough interest to move forward with aluminum version, then we can find out how many would be down for a Stage 2 aluminum version and we can get that designed as...

Ok, I follow now. I will ask! I got one PM already, so we are officially up to 2 interested people! One or two more and I'll start a separate thread. Will probably also hit up some FB groups during the day as well.

Sorry, not completely understanding what you are asking? The Stage 2 High Clearance Protection is currently only offered in steel. Are you asking if it could also be offered in aluminum as well? If so I would assume it would also require a ten order minimum to get the ball rolling.

Ok, so if there are ten people willing to buy an aluminum version of the SSO Slimline, then that would be enough for a minimum order and SSO would work with Hefty on what current pricing would be. If anyone in this thread is still interested, send me a message. If we can get 3-4 it would be...

I have been messaging them about this today. I'm ready to order a Slimline style bumper, but would love an aluminum one. They did stop production of the aluminum version due to low demand. I asked if there would be a minimum number for a single batch to be run. I'll let everyone know what they say.

Haha, just scroll up bro, it's been installed on at least 4 5th Gens in this thread. Lots of pics

I ordered same day and price and just got a shipping notification today as well. Supposedly have it Thursday. Might be able to get it on Sunday!

I noticed that Ebay seller has now finally bumped their price up as they are running out of their stock.

Yeah, thanks so much for all the info and doing the initial plunge! Looks great! I broke down and called Olathe again since I haven't received an email and my order status still shows ready to ship. They told me that my order has been submitted and accepted (No VIN needed), but is somewhere in...

I still show that my order status is "Ready to Ship" I have received no direct communication from Olathe that mine requires a VIN or has been moved to backorder. I'm still hoping that I'm in early enough (2/23) that I'll get mine. Sounds like 2/24 might have been the cutoff when Toyota figured...

Why not have your machinist put a snap ring groove in the body like the other part number?

Balls, I haven't heard anything yet about my late Friday order. My original shows it estimated shipping tomorrow. Hopefully I don't have to find a friend with a FJ Trail VIN haha.

It's the afternoon already, why haven't you posted pics and measurements of it installed?!?!?!?! Lol :bump2:

I called Olathe at lunch today and spoke with the guy that did a lot of the initial ordering last week. He said the first orders on Friday have already shipped (I think that is all you guys getting delivery confirmations and ship notifications). The ones Olathe processed on Saturday and after (I...

It doesn't seem like anyone has installed this specific part number on a 4Runner. or at least hasn't arrived in the thread to tell us about it. I have KDSS, so will be able to comment on that as well as height change. But I don't see why the KDSS would cause a problem or interference. The last...
