    cool thanks. anyone beat em up yet? really curious to see what they can handle. My OEM stamped steel took a beating, and did not survive, replaced with some sos steel, definitely interested in some feedback on real world wheeling and testing on these TRD skid plates, i do dig how they look.

    Installed my new Redline Tuning hood struts. I got a little rough and broken the spring on the last one installed on the ball point. Called Redline and they are sending me a new end. I should have gone slow but I was anxious to get it installed. My fault completely. Still think the product is great. Definitely would buy it again.

    I imagine they’ll take a beating. They’re engineered with a jack point right in the center so I imagine they are designed to support the full weight if need be. 4 very stout 17mm bolts and 2 12mm bolts hold it on. My only holdup is aluminum doesn’t slide well over rocks, it digs in. I do t do rock crawling anymore though. I bought this 80% for aesthetics and 20% for protection from tree stumps at the farm.

    There’s several people that wheel pretty hard with them, I’ve seen a few pics floating around. For the type of off-roading I get into it’ll do fine. Definitely an upgrade over the stock “skid” if you can even call it that.

    appreciate boss! that was my initial thought on the aluminum not sliding being soft, but all the vendors offer aluminum skids, i guess i thought they have the voodoo trick to make them stout and last for somewhat serious wheeling.

    Working on a project and needed some small blue leds. I obviously know nothing about them because I ordered small leds but was not expecting quite this small. :rofl:they are bright little suckers tho..

    Yeah but when it's properly washed and waxed it's beautiful![/QUOTE]


    I agree, 202 Black is sexy when it’s done up! But in between washes I can’t stand it, add the pollen to the mix, :frusty:
