    Is that not in inches? It looks like 4.4 to me. Am I reading it wrong? What is the software you are using. I see where 25K is on your external load, just trying to read deflection.

    Who supplies your steel and your water or laser jetting?

    4.4e(-002) is the highest number on there. That equals 0.04".

    My supplier is an Iowa company. I only buy USA steel and it's laser cut.

    If anyone was curious on powder coat, the cost would be $110 for black.

    I'm in for a set, too hard to pass up at this price.

    Are you ever going to do a fuel tank skid? If so, I'd be in for two of them...

    Pm'ing you now.

    Yes, but I would prefer to collect all the money closer to the end date of the group buy. I can keep track of addresses and everything a little better that way.

    Hello Sir. I apologize if I ask a question that you have already answered...I've tried to follow this post, but it long.

    Anyway...the way I understand it: this breaks down to $150 a panel. So can I get just the front panel for $150...and then $25 for a design? Or do I have to buy two or more panels to get the G/B price?

    Or better yet...what I really want is: a front panel with the extension that covers the steering rack, with a design "TRD or "Toyota" and powder coated...on the G/B?!? What would that cost?

    One last question...I know you have the hole for oil drain. But can you get to the oil filter with these skids on? Just wondering...??

    Thanks for your time! Go Big 10...I hope you beat Wisconsin today!!
    GO BUCKEYES!!!!:yay:

    I offer what you are looking for here...
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...id-plates-w-rack-coverage-1st-gen-tacoma.html

    However, to get the group buy $150 price you would be unable to get the steering rack coverage. That extra material and bend is factored into my price in the above thread, as well as expedited manufacturing time. I can have those single piece skids done and shipped very quickly.

    What the hell go ahead and add me in for the front piece as well to make it a full set. Can't beat the price and I know I would just buy one down the road anyways.

    Front piece is the most important one IMO. 3/8" steel plate beats factory one by leaps and bounds. You'll be glad when you bump against a big one.

    Mine is pretty rusty so I might as well beef it up if I'm going to replace it!
