    I am running a group buy on our Flat Belly Kit that works for the 2005-2023 Tacomas.

    I know there's a lot of info here, but please read the whole thing if you are interested.

    The kit consists of cutting out the stock transmission crossmember, and welding in a new crossmember, which is tucked up around 2" higher than stock. Then our own skids bolt on, giving an almost completely flat belly. No more getting hung up on the stock crossmember, which is the main pain point when rock crawling a tacoma. This kit does require rerouting the exhaust to behind the transfer case. The kit will be made in the USA, laser cut, pre-welded and powdercoated. Labour still requires welding on the transmission mount and the crossmember mounts to the frame.

    If you want more information about the kit, check out this video, or this thread:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/finally-a-tacoma-flat-belly-kit.852600/






    Here's how the GB is going to work:

    I will run this group buy for 2 weeks from Today, Sept 8 until Monday, Sept 22. (please note, I will be away from the 12-15, so if you have questions during that time, I probably won't have service to get back to you immediately.)

    We need a minimum of 10 kits to get things going.

    10 kits is 10% off
    15 kits is 15% off
    20 kits are 20% off
    25+ kits are 25% off

    The full kit would cost $903 - GB discount, and there would be flat shipping of $69.

    To join the group buy, a $50 deposit will be required. This will be fully refundable IF the group buy doesn't make the minimum 10 kits. However, if we do meet the minimum 10 kit requirement, and you decide to back out, the $50 deposit will be non-refundable. This is purely to get serious committed people without the notorious last minute cancels that tend to ruin group buys.

    Lead times are yet to be determined, but should be around 4 weeks from end of the group buy. I will keep everybody updated on that when we get there.

    If you would like to be a part of this Group Buy, please DM me directly with your name, email and address. I will send you a custom quote for the $50 deposit which will come from Overland Outfitters. Once the $50 is paid, I will add you to the list!

    I love cutting apart Toyotas. If I didn’t jump right on these I’d so be in. Mine should be getting installed soon.
