3rd gen 3/16" steel skid plate

[Ol'Blue]

I'm going to try and answer all the questions.

First, here are a couple pictures of the LCA bolts. It's hard to see but the bend up in the skid plate is pretty much in line with the bolts.

As for aluminum, I can check pricing, but I know aluminum costs a fair amount more than steel. I'm sure I can sell some if the price was still fair, though.

This skid is a stand alone skid. You can't add the transmission skid without cutting off the rear part of this skid behind the mounting holes. I offer the 3 piece set and can make those skids individually if need be. I did a group buy on these not too long ago so I won't be making any more until summer or fall probably. I need to collect enough interest to get the price low.

Here's some pictures from Rausch Creek.

Just a idea but what about a gas tank skid? That I am aware there is very limited options for 3rd gens when it comes to gas tank skids. Thanks for building a great product and don't let people's opinions get to you.

I'm definitely going to make them in the future once all my current projects dry up.

I don't know if it's been asked before, but any chance you're gonna make them for the 4th gens?

It looks like a great product!!

Are they the same as 2nd gen Tacomas? I'm going to do those this summer, so if they are the same that would be neat.

i say u take a plasma cutter to that bad boy and cut a name in your skid. i mean i think it looks clean the way it is, but 1. it'll get some of the whiners to stfu, and 2 you'll start building a brand....... and if a name is 2 hard cut a sweet looking smiley face in that MO FO.

I think the skid row and savage off road ones look extremely tacky with the name cutout. I would rather keep it clean and universal for everyone. Maybe I should make up some decals to go with or something.

I agree, I prefer yours without any cut-outs over those of your competitors...

 

[SKDMRKS]

I would be down for one of these but can't swing it until a month or so from now. Will you be making another batch in the near future?
I agree with the above, no cut outs brand name. Clean and minimal.
Thanks

I was trying to lean you towards building a brand, a name for yourself. Yeah decals work to. What Skid row and savage have is that when u see the skid you think "oh I like that" and you know who built it cuz it's cut out on the front. It's a guessing game when you see yours cuz there's nothing identifying about it. If you threw a decal in your box with the skid, if the owner put it on the vehicle it would be like advertising and bring you more customers

Might still have one by then. The next order is probably a couple months out.

So now that we're done with advertising ideas How much is the 3 piece set opposed to just the front skid?

And does your 1piece just front skid replace the 2 OEM skids or just the front one?

I'd be interested. It works out that you aren't building them for a bit cuz I would need to put some money aside

 

[isu2014]

The full set will be $480ish when the group buy comes I think. I will work to get it as low as possible, but that depends on number of customers too.

The single skid replaces both factory skids.

 

[isu2014]

Sold out of these skids for now, but anyone interested in one in the future, let me know and I can PM you when the group buy is going. Might start it mid April or so.

 

[hrt4me]

let me know when your next GB starts

 

[isu2014]

The newest group buy has begun!
