Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

now I am kinda confused what do I need to check? The one on the Amazon link says it works for a 2015 tacoma but obviously if they are aftermarket rims they might not work. Again the Falcon Offroad T7's

 

Just gonna leave this here:

...oh and it's a manual @Supr4Lo

 

Changed my picture...

 

Do you mean SSO? The only SOS I find, the website hasn't been updated since something like 2014.

 

Dammit @WiscoPat. That this is beautiful. Had to show the wife, to put on Xmas list.

 

I almost bid on it but it’s far too nice to pinstripe on our trails.

 

Snowed here too.

 

Same

 

I got skids and a bumper from SOS in 2020. Hopefully @Tim v meant SSO, though, as my skids were a nightmare to install due to shitty fitment. The bumper was fine, though.

 

There are many reasons SOS folded.

 

I think I caught them right as things were going downhill.

The bumper was great. Beautiful welds, perfect fit. The skids were just awful.

One of their employees who hung out here was trying to work with me to right everything, and then he ended up leaving the company. I've heard nothing but negative since then.

 

yes SOS just before they closed in2020

If you look at all the others they all look the same, welds look great and they are still taking up room on my garage floor,Sent a PM to Pixal tim

 

Maybe, if you're just talking about sliders. But, I can guarantee you the skids from others are better, because otherwise TW would be overrun by threads about skid plate quality and fitment issues.

Edit:. Have you tried to bolt them up yet? My skids looked fine until I tried bolting them on.

 

Those things are so damn expensive! I wish I had bought one in '05 when I originally wanted to, and they were like half the price.

I might have to find one that's been rolled for a trail rig.

 

You should have bought mine when I had it for sale! Hardly any rust and it ran like a champ and I sold it for $3800 in like 2019

 

Damn!

 

Oh there's a spectrum for sure. Cheaper price typically means more time/money needed for repairs and maintenance, unless it's just going to be a beater.

To be fair though, in today's money, these were around $90k - $95k when new.

 

Their (4x4Innovations) website shows $50 to pickup, not sure why the charge for pickup. Still, many places I've looked at are $850 and up with $250-$300 in freight on top.

 

I wonder if the fee is relatively new?

I drove to 4x Innovations a couple years back to pick up sliders for my Tacoma (that I then sold) and there wasn't a fee. Hell, the guys even helped me put them in the bed. Can always call to ask.
