U.S. State-ian here..

 

Just any FYI for anyone looking to purchase the Northstar 27F battery from Batteries Plus, I was able to get 20% off with coupon code "CDP13175". Total came out to just over $300 after the core deposit refund. I'm planning to install a solar panel after I get the battery in for off-grid camping. I will update with pics after I get it all installed.

 

Ooooh! 3 months! Born and raised! Served in the United States Army! A Proud Texan, hence my user name. Nothing wrong with being Texas proud! I served, and would have died for this country, having signed that check that included my service, up to, and including my life! I say God Bless Texas!

 

Looks great!! What size wheels are you running/Tires??

 

Does anyone else think this thread is starting to suck with all the back and forth BS of things non related to Tacos? I am here for pictures and ideas of MODs to do to my tacoma. Take all the bickering and BS to another thread

Anyway, I installed full RCI skids to my taco. Install went well and only took a few hours. The truck rides so much more smooth now with the added weight, I didn't expect that at all. The skids feel extremely beefy and with the added cross member I think it could really support some weight.

 

Bet they weren't proud of that week 2 loss.......

 

Those are steel? How thick?

Holy shit and nice all in one!

 

Yeah, but have you seen what's in the basement!?

 

SSSSHH!!! We don't talk about that.

I’m old enough to know

 

All steel, and 3/16 thick on everything. There are internal gussets and bracing on each piece (belly skids are a 4 piece set) to prevent buckling under load. I am a steel fabricator and I can recognize solid engineering and quality work. Only one hole out of 28 some odd bolts didn't line up and with an assist of a BFH I got it aligned and bolted up tight. The one bolt had an internal tube that goes up to the frame and it got out of square while welding it. The tube just needed a few taps and it was back into alignment with the oem attachment holes.


Overall I like them a lot and would recommend. I got the whole set (belly skids, LCA skids and rear diff skids for 1000$ delivered. RCI is close to me so shipping was only 60$

 

The TSS garnish just simply wouldn't fit so I dremeled the outlining area on the grill. Kinda bummed I had to spend the money on the dremel tool but I guess I could return it haha. Also I will be shaving slots for my raptor lights and will only be using 3 lights instead of 4. Here's the video showing the concept at 1:11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlo1MJgI3vg&t=94s
