    I could. Brought 3 sets last year and installed them in the parking lot. Ask John and Turin. They had a good time installing them.

    Theirs went on fine, bad part was weight. They have 1/4" steel plates which we no longer offer. 190lbs!

    When you guys did the skid installs, you dodged a bullet and JUST missed the epic rain deluge that weekend of the Takeover.

    @Paint6it9black - shouldn't you "paint it black" before install? Fuckers are heavy. Installing unpainted at Takeover, then getting home and deinstalling , priming/painting and re-installing sounds like a lot of work.

    This sounds like a good idea.
    This is not a good idea.
    When the powdercoat scrapes and scratches (guaranteed at Rausch), you'd have to rattle can the scratches anyway.
    I would just avoid the initial expense of powdercoat.

    I do have a powder coated skid on now and it's fine. I don't want to have to deal with the painting process anymore. Did that with my rear diff skid and my front bumper.

    Mine were installed at Rausch, removed and reinstalled more times than I remember.
    Y'all afraid of some light skids?

    I have access to a lift. I'm not afraid. I just hate painting.
