The holes are there for a reason, less weight and so mud and dirt won't sit up there adding more weight.

well thank you very much, very good info and direct to my OP.. I will check into the RCI, do you know whether the fj skids are much better than the stock t4r, as for local fab I have some skills myself and have friends with great fab skills so I know I can get it for a decent price, I don't plan on hitting too hard just want protection in the case I do scrape or hit, thanks again for the info. :rockon:

thanks for the input
To be honest , Ryan ( hubby ) trashed his stock skids first run through hidden falls. I think there is a certain amount of respect in having made your own skids and if you have the skills would highly recommend it!
You never know someone else might like them and want you to make them a set. You could be the next Budbuilt lol. Ryan wishes he had access to machine shop tools but he couldn't make a decent weld to save his life lol. He can however tear down his motor and rebuild it in a day if he needed to.
Wish you weren't so far away Id say come by we could BBQ and you could look at a few sets. Local FJ guys have Ricochet , BB , ShrockWorks , RCI , who knows what else. Always nice to have a comparison.
Good luck to you and dont hesitate to PM me if we can help in any way.

Don't know if this is any help at all but thought it might be of interest:

ok so I guess the FJ's are out of the question.
I do have the skills to do it myself but I already have custom cars that takes all my time and effort and my t4r was supposed to remain stock lol.. but I guess im facing the fact that I will customize anything and everything I get my hands on. I really don't want another project though.. but my friends will do the work for pretty much a case of beer and material.
And please don't tease me with a BBQ, I don't care how far you are I will show up lol jk. but Yeah it would be nice to compare..
