    Dude... If it's that or skids I gotta go with skids... I think. My wife would kill me if I had to borrow from the savings to buy anything :) but out of curiosity, pm me a price and I'll see what I can swing. If you can include a rough estimate on skid timing that would be sweet too! Check back on my build later too for pics of the tool box mods.

    Not going to happen. I offer the least expensive skids by a long shot, not the most features. Sure, there are better skids out there if you want to spend $800. My niche is lowest cost for decent protection.

    It requires welding, and welding on more parts increases the cost quite a bit. I haven't had any reports of shearing the grade 8 bolt heads.

    Just the norm skids, sliders, & 35's
    I haven't broken/sheared any and I have dented/bent all 3 skids in some form. They held up well for what I have put them through. I have scuffed a few of bolts but they are cheap to replace and a wear item in my eyes.

    What did you change on the transfer skid?

    Also, do you make a rear diff skid? Ferny listed it in an earlier post. Didn't know if he got it from you. I didn't see it on the FB page, unless he is running your prototype...

    I added a bent up flange on the back edge of each wing. Bends add strength so anywhere I can add a bend I try to.

    And no I don't make a rear diff skid.
