Just wonder, is there really a group-buy going to happen? I am kinda itch and pick them up at the local dealer...I didn't because they charged $150 + 14% taxes...
Mafster or somebody.... please organize a group-buy~
you know what... I thought about the GB.. but the price will still come out to be the same. Lets say 120USD.. which is about $142CDN already... plus shipping... brokerage fees... plus tax..... it'll be cheaper just buying it here.
I only have to pay 7% gst.

Yea, maybe you're right... however, I just expect to have more than $2 less if for group-buy...
I guess I should move to Alberta then~

$100USD + $30CDN(shipping.. which is CHEAP) = $150CDN.
and your lucky if they don't charge you brokerage fees. GB.. who's setting it up? If its ALOT cheaper... or maybe free shipping... to Canada.. I'll pick one up.

I am wondering if this skid plate can be mounted with the new stainless steel T&H bar. If so, then this would be a nice looking combination. The only issue in question appears to be the mounting holes of the 03-05 vs the new 06 models.

If you look at page 2 of this thread you will see that toybox was going to look into a group buy on Monday.
The holes appear to be the same on all years, not 100% sure though.
I am planning to mount the skid plate and also a little later the T&H SS Euro Bar. But, I think they both mount to the same place. So the question becomes, can the mounting hardware for both be used together or reworked some how so they can be used together?

I don't know, because I haven't seen one in person yet, but just from the way it is mounted tells me it's more cosmetic than anything. The front part of the skid plate is not bolted to anything so how sturdy can it be?
On the other hand, it does seem to offer some protection to the bottom of the radiator which is exposed and can be damaged by rocks or branches kicked up by the tires.
Again, this is just my observation since I haven't seen one up close and personal like.
