    I can tell you I got the full skids from RCI last year and the install only took 2 hours for full skids and bolt on sliders. I live in the rust belt and all the hardware that came with them have held up perfectly and they come off in mins once you know how they go on. I went full steel because I wanted to keep the center of gravity as low as possible and on the occasion when I have come down on them on a trail they have hardly scuffed.

    Debadged it

    1. Used braided fishing line- If u leave about 20" between your hands and use long strokes (haha) it cuts like butter
    2. Part of my Taco had been respayed by the dealer I bought it from
    I found out they just taped off the Tacoma emblem on the side and didnt remove it.

    Coolbeans! I love the RCI rack I have and still need skids and sliders. Definitely leaning towards them when its time to armor up. Hoping I'll have the money for everything come black friday and will score on some deals. Last year I got roof rack, bumper and full suspension. My wallet was not pleased. Glad to hear RCI holds up over time.

    First hand wash of 2020. Clay Bar tomorrow and hopefully wax sometime this week. Still pretty shiny after a long, salty winter and wax from last October is still shedding water nicely.

    You or anyone else know if the BPF hook will work with the RCI skid plates?

    Haha. He wasn't that obvious. See the yellow thing (cloth) in my bed? He's right above that (beyond the truck) with a blue shirt and hat.

    What did you have in mind of powering up from your new outlet?

    Thanks, plan on mostly using it for the fridge for when we’ll use it or small electronics for tailgating is all.

    Today had been a day. What I thought would take me three hours too me six. Four on the driver side, two on the passenger side, but I got it done.

    New general springs HD leaf packs, 5100s in the rear to match the fronts, chopped the exhaust off while I was under there. Now it sits perfect.

    I'm coming off driving a jetta, and sometimes lights behind me were so bright my eyes hurt after. I don't think some people realize how it is for the folks in the lower vehicles when the headlights with the power of the sun are at eye level
