I have the ten I asked for. I will build a prototype and do a test fit. After a successful fitting, I will ask for money before I commit to a production run. When I ask for money, I will give everyone a week to get their money sent to me me. Up to this time if new people want to join the GB they can.

 

What's the difference in looks between raw aluminum & brushed aluminum? Will either of them rust if they get wet?

 

Well I am sure you have seen aluminum wheels on trucks, they get wet all the time.

All bare aluminum oxidizes (rusts) and if it is bare (no coatings) then it will loose it's luster over time. If you want it shiney again, you polish it with an aluminum polish. This will make it shine.



There are two (2) aluminum battery hold downs in this pic.

The top one with the Red TRD has been brushed with a scotchbrite in a left/right motion. Then the TRD was painted red. Then the entire hold down was clear coated.

The lower one is raw, no coatings.

The top one will be shiney until you damage the coating.

The bottom will oxidize and you will have to polish it as time goes on.

 

Time line will be about 5 weeks after I ask for money. I will build a prototype and do a test fit first.

I sent drawings to the machine shop for the prototype.

It will be a couple of weeks before I have anything to show.

 

Coupe,
The tabs under that lock around the battery, are they going to be adjustable like one of your drawings had shown?
That is the best option for whichever battery guys are using.

Looks great so far.

 

Yes. The tabs below will be adjustable.

 

I found this one on a 2014 Tacoma. Looks great! Those are the exact colors I want. Gives me a little more insight & perspective on how it will look except for a few subtle differences.

 

If it's not too late, add me to the list. All gloss black

 

ya found it!

@Coupe - no red TRD for me, just all Gloss Black in case you were wondering. Will these be powdercoated or painted?

 

They will be powdercoated, except for the brushed aluminum.
