Any pics of them mounted?

 

^yes they will have 4 small holes in the bottom so water can drain there will be no need for you guys to drill holes yourself.

Cool nam added

No just what you see in the OP I mocked up the front mounts to the skid and made a jig so its easy to do the others. I took some crappy cell phone pics I'll post them later or tomorrow.

 

I mocked up the front lower mounts last night here are a few cell phone shots.

The top plate in the picture is just a jig for tube placement. The top plate will be 1/2" plate across the top wrapping the 3rd with 3/4" .120 wall tubes welded to each end where two 3" long 1/2" grade 8 bolts will bolt into the lower mounts. I wont have the bungs until the end of the week but this gives you guys an idea.


There is a rest under the 3rd that raps the lower to aid in clamping you can't really see it in the picture if you look closely you can see the weld joint. Its 1/4" now for mocking but will be 1/2" plate for the final product. Note the tube used for mocking these is HREW the finial product will be all DOM tubing.


These 1" .120 wall tubes will have a weld in threaded bung for a 1/2" grade 8 bolt to clamp the 3rd.

 

Alright, count me in. Even though I just know this will hit the wallet the same time my elite bumpers come in it's too good a deal to pass up.

Okay man let me know

 

F it, i cant pass this up, im in...TRD OR

 

Put me in on the group buy TRD offroad

 

Okay guys added

 

11 more!!!!!! comeon guys...get those sales pitches ready and throw them out there!

 

Yeah guys 11 more orders and there shipped for 10.00 bucks

 

forgot to ask, will these have a drain plug/hole? Also more pics of this mounted up please, i saw the pics on page 14 but they are dark and hard to see. thanks

 

No these will not have a drain plug hole Just holes to drain water out of the skid they are designed for full protection of the rear diff and the drain plug needs to be protected form the rocks not out in the open like other designs. it's 6 simple bolts to remove the skid and change the diff Oil much easier them welding on the new drain plug after you rip out your plug on the trail.

The pictures i posted this morning were mock up pictures not of it mounted. I will have fully mounted and painted pictures this weekend. I need to run to Sacramento to pickup bungs for the mounts.

 

Are there any pictures of this thing on a normal rear end? I thought there was more pictures in this thread a while back. Like how it mounts and stuff?
