[Okiyota]

Can we see some pictures of the complete set?

Mine were originally scheduled for delivery today, I live in a small mountain town however and UPS called yesterday to tell me they only deliver up here on Wednesdays (freight) so I should have them tomorrow, if they get here before its dark out I'll take some pics and post them.

Haha, very close, I'm 65 miles away, east and just a little south of South Park in a town called Woodland Park.

3rd Gen 4Runner Skid Plates, 1996-2002

My skids showed up...

Mine arrived yesterday:cheer2:. I have no experience with other brands of skids, but these look stout as hell, and the quality looks exceptional as well. No sharp edges or weld splatter, etc. I plan to pre-fit this weekend, and then paint them in the next week (or two), time allowing. I plan to take some pics, in case anyone is interested in these.

:worthless: opcorn:

I can't wait to get mine later in the year!

:worthless:

Fine

I think it'll be a few weekends before they get painted though.

 

[hungwin jza80]

Well played sir, well played. :madgrin:

 

[masphx]

Not the best picture. Painting begins tomorrow

Just an fyi. The radiator skid does not seem compatible with my arb bumper mounts.

I wish this was available when I was looking for skids 16 months ago! What I really, really like about these skids:
-radiator skid mounts to tow hook mounts!! This is super stout!
-stiffening ribs in the middle of the transfer case skid and the transmission skid

 

[JBurt]

Just an fyi. The radiator skid does not seem compatible with my arb bumper mounts.

that sucks. Can you just trim the bumper?

 

[masphx]

I will probably cut either the bumper mount or the skid to make the fit. Probably the skid as I don't want to weaken the bumper any.

Here is a comparison picture of bud builts and shockworks. Don't ask me why I have two skid. Don't know myself but give me a reason to buy a second 4R.

[MENTION=71420]masphx[/MENTION] - Thanks for posting pics!

My BudBuilts have served me well, but I dominated the front one really bad last time I went wheeling. I'm really looking forward to receiving my set sans gas tank skid. Lil' Skip's Offroad Gas Tank Skid is suiting me juuust fine, plus it's AQUA!

One thing I'm not sure of is if the engine skid is easily removable for oil changes. Hopefully the overlap isn't that big of a deal and I can unbolt it, drop the front down, and slide it forward.

 

[JBurt]

I don't think you'll have to drop the skid for oil changes. There is a hole under the drain plug and you can get the filter through the wheel well.

I had mine powder coated by ShrockWorks...finally got my notification from UPS Freight today. They said they'll deliver my skids on Tusday. Can't wait to get them :cowboy:

Anyone get any directions with their set? On their site it says directions will be included but none came with my set. I have some mystery screws and not sure if some of these are the correct size.

Im interested if theres another run at that introductory (or close) price
Especially with that free shipping.

Looks like some nice quality pieces.

Me as well! Sucks, because I was actually ready to buy a set and got a call about halfway through the day that someone had tried to use my MasterCard to buy a $600 iPad. Luckily, they called me before they shipped because they thought it was fraud, and I cancelled my card! Unluckily, I had to go debit-only the rest of the two-week business trip :Cry:
