    Okay guys everyone seems to want what they can't have to see if were going to bring this back or not I'm doing a waiting list on the website. We have been getting quite a few requests for these now that they are discontinued so were feeling it out to see if it's worth it for us to run one batch a year . You will be able to add this to a waiting list and if we get enough interest we will take the orders and build a annual batch of skids.

    We will build one batch a year that all have to be pre ordered if it all works out the skid will get a little refresh for a little tighter fitment to the diff to take away some of that ground clearance loss.

    April 12th 2017 Update
    The 8.75" is completely designed the 8.0" is 90% were in the middle of a laser cutting system install right now so things are hectic in the shop. As soon as the laser is up and running and our training is completed we will start the 8.75" skid orders. I just have some fine tuning to do on the 8.0" for it to be ready for production. The skids will go fast with the new one piece formed design so were in the home stretch.

    Okay the 8.4" will be designed a little after. Once I build the TRD skid I'll see how much needs to be changed for the 8.4"

    It will be bolt on weld on would be too much of a pain. It will be U-bolts or a clamping style with 6 1/2" Allen bolts I still haven't decided yet.

    It's in the works it shouldn't be that different then the 8"

    Yeah it's the best way if it were weld on it would cause problems if you broke something or were re-gearing.

    Will definitely be interested in the 8.4.

    The 8.4 is all rear axles except the TRD Off-Road e-locker models.

    The price is still in the works I need to build the first one before I can set pricing. The first one will be hand cut with a plasma. After the first one is all cut and welded I will make adjustments if needed in the .dxf file and get the quote form the CNC cutter then I will have a price set.
