    You can get them with or without holes, just need to ask him. I have no holes on the front/mid/trans and holes on the gas.

    Thanks James, yep that is correct.

    You may order any of the plates without the holes at no extra charge, however we do not stock them this way so the lead time will be just a bit longer.

    these skids look awesome.

    don't know when (probably in the next few months) but i plan on ordering a front skid and picking it up in ft collins. when i do this i could pick up other orders and meet people in boulder, denver, castle rock, and colorado springs.

    again, i'm not sure when i will order but will let you all know so we can coordinate if people trust me with their stuff. figure we can save josh some trouble with shipping these things and save you all money.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    ^ this please and thank you.

    other than wanting to see that so far i really like your product, and your price $555 bare steel (thats what i got on the site) for a full set!

    I was going to hold off on skids but i might have to order from you sooner rather than later.

    I just got home and found this waiting for me :D

    It's not on yet but I can tell you it's heavy and looks really well made. Thick! I wouldn't worry about hitting anything with it. It feels really strong. I'm going to try and get it mounted now. Wish me luck and I'll let you guys now how that goes. I'll update soon.

    I just got done and didn't use one. I got on my back, put the skid on my chest and did it that way. I don't really recommend it though. More pics on their way

    It started getting dark. I'll take more pics tomorrow (if weather permits) if not Thursday.

    Install: I did it by myself. Not too bad, I just crawled under the truck and pulled the remaining part of my skid off and pulled this badass skid up on my chest and bolted the front up first then slid to the back and put the rear bolts in with washers and spacers. It took me maybe 30 mins (I had to take a beer/smoke break halfway through while getting the new skid) so that's just an estimate. Overall very easy install, instructions that come with it are good if you need them, and it has an awesome fit.

    Overall thoughts: Pretty badass. Sturdy as hell, I'm not worried about hitting anything really with it, a TON better and stronger than stock. It makes stock stuff seem like a aluminum can honestly. Very happy with the product and next time I go wheeling and it sees some action, I'll post pics of that and my thoughts about how it holds up. I recommend this to anyone, for the quality and price, you can't beat it. I'm very pleased with it. RCI does great work.

    And thanks Josh, you're a great guy to deal with and you do some excellent work :thumbsup: keep it up, I'll definitely be ordering some more skids from you.

    And by the way, the founder of Toyota passed away today of heart failure. I just saw it on the news. He was 100.
