It's a completely valid question and the decision isn't driven by economics. The wheeling I do is best described as exploring. I doubt I will ever tackle anything beyond a moderately rated trail and even then the skids are intended to be a fail safe in the event something doesn't go as planned. Given that and the potential move back to a corrosive environment aluminum seems to be the more appropriate choice.

I may roll with the OEM for a while in the interim, but it's a personal belief that I want my vehicle to have at least some degree of belly protection beyond a stamped sheet metal splash guard.

 

Just stay here, you will only end up moving back in 12-24 months

 

Don't encourage people to stay

I think aluminum skids was the right choice for me. Price was only a bit more and I'm very happy with them

 

Oh cool, if you go that route definitely let me know

 

I'm heading out to Colorado on vacation in 2 weeks. Looking for a set of 265/75/16 AT's in good shape. Wheels are optional. Would also look at 17's. Let me know if anyone has any. Thanks guys

 

What about 285/70-17s bfg ko's with only 15000 on them with toyota wheels and they are a matching set of 5

 

Those would work man. Got any pictures? Price? Just send me a pm so we don't blow this thread up. Thanks!

 

I was curious so I did the math:

Steel IFS 62 lbs $275
Alum IFS 31 lbs $320
50% weight $45 or 16.3% cost increase

Steel mid 42 lbs $210
Alum mid 23 lbs $245
55% weight $35 or 16.6% cost increase

Going aluminum for skids isn't as much as I would have expected. But then I'm used to seeing bumper numbers, and they're more complex/thicker (I assume) and therefore more expensive. Still looking at 50% weight, but the cost increase jumps to 37%.

I'd be interested in those steels since I don't have anything right now, but just don't have the funds.

 

Do you have a price in mind for the mid skid? I don't have aluminum to trade but I could be interested in purchasing it depending on price.

 

Looking for a pair of TSB compatible add-a-leafs.
The add-a-leaf I had on the pre-TSB 3 leaf pack is too long to work with the new springs. I will trade or give these away if I find a compatible pair.

Help me fix my recall induced Cali-lean!

 

I was thinking $200 for the mid and $275 for the IFS. That saves $90 over what it would cost you shipped from Pelfreybilt plus they are primed and painted.

 

Is that yours?

 

Anyone looking for 2016 TRD Sport wheels and tires? Upgrading soon, willing to part with them.
