I made a couple minor beneficial updates to the current skids, but the fit is all the same.

Is it possible to just order the transmission and transfer case skids? Colors purple and lime green (from the picture above) for a 99 taco v6 ext cab

 

[isu2014]

The 3 piece set can be ordered individually at 1/3 the price for each piece. So $276.67.

 

[NJCatalana]

I got on one his of first group buys on T4R and can't say enough about the quality of them. A little over a year and they're holding up just like they should!

 

[4eigner]

Any possibility of getting these in a stainless steel variety?

 

[isu2014]

I considered stainless, but the yield strength is only about 2/3 what steel is, so it would dent and deform easier. And the cost is almost double. I wouldn't want them for the price.

Well that's good to know.
So what grade steel you using on this batch? Cold rolled?

More questions come to mind:
Curious on what minor changes/improvements you made?
Holes need to be drilled through the frame or plates, or both?
Can the truck be jacked up from the 1/8" skids without deformation?

If purchasing skids with the tank skid, will the shipping price be much different? Cheaper if multiple orders go to one location, I'm guessing?

I will be using 1018 CR. As for changes, I made the mounting flanges larger on the t-case skid, as well as added a flange to the back side of both wings for extra strength against flexing. I made the oil drain hole round instead of a larger slot. The frame will need drilled to mount the t-case skid.

I jacked on my 3/16" with no issue, so 1/8" should be ok. It will probably flex a little but not give out.

The gas tank skid will not fit a 4runner. It is for a Tacoma. I run this same sale on other forums so it is there for others.

If I can use fastenal to ship multiple orders to one location, it will be cheaper.

Part 2 & 3

Bought the front skid from you last year and am also interested in the other 2 skids. I'm sure shipping to IL won't be bad for them either.

 

[isu2014]

Do you want added to the list? What thickness?

 

[isu2014]

Bump.

 

[reelamin]

Add me in for front and transmission 1/8".

 

[isu2014]

Added!

 

[aeroneer1]

Should all 3 bolt right up? Or do you have to drill some holes?

Edit: Sorry read the op.

 

[isu2014]

There's an install thread at the bottom of the OP that is worth a read.

 

[4eigner]

Did you shorten the length of the transfer case skid? Does is still extend beyond the body of the catalytic converter?

 

[isu2014]

No, it still extends past the cat. It offers a little extra protection I guess.

 

[isu2014]

Slow over here!
