NEW SKID PLATES

Ill get you some side shots next time I have a chance. Its pretty straightforward though since you are hugging tight to the frame cross-members front to back, you gain 1.25" ground clearance at the T-case cross-member with the exhaust re-route setup.

 

Hey everyone!

We are updating our inventory and all new plates will no longer have any of the extra holes on the bottom with exception to service ports and front vents.

Therefor I am holding a Black Friday blowout sale to clear our inventory and make room for the new ones!

Absolutely everything is brand new and exceptional products, with the bonus that EVERYTHING IS AT LEAST 20% OFF!!

Quantities are extremely limited so get yours at http://www.rcimetalworks.com

 

I agree. I had no clue why you offered them with ALL those holes initially...

 

I was thinking how destroyed they would get hung up on lots of rocks or sticks if I was sliding over stuff.

 

How thick would I need for IED protection

Hahaha well hey they have their pros and cons for sure, from my experience they do seem to prevent debris collecting as well as being easier to clean, but at the same time I also recognize that if you are going to spend the money on skids, many people want as unobstructed and smooth of a surface as possible. Its a funny thing because I've had a lot of customers say they specifically like our plates BECAUSE of the holes, but its just a matter majority now so that's the reason we decided to go this route.

In any case, I do still have a few of these available still, so if you want some protection thats a whole heck of a lot better than factory at an extraordinary price get them while you can!

 

Yep that is very true and exactly what we will do. BUT the only difference is that unlike many companies we keep an inventory of our products on hand thus reducing lead time by several weeks. We only want to carry a stock of standard best selling products, but are usually happily willing to cut special requests (ie holes/no holes) if you are willing to wait the extra time.

 

Ok so to really put the icing on the cake, on top of this black Friday deal we had going for 20% off the Tacoma plates, we added free shipping on these for Cyber Monday!!!

You will certainly never get a better price than this so if you are in the market, we still have at least a couple full sets INCLUDING fuel tank plates!

 

Gas tank skid ordered. Thank you

 

Ordered Front, Trans, and Transfer, thanks! I placed an order for delivery, but if it's coming by freight I can maybe swing by Ft. Collins and pick em up. Should be easier for the both of us.

 

Ordered! Probably not often you see free shipping on a skid

Even though it's not the powder coated aluminum, I'm sure I can prime and paint it, maybe with bedliner spray in a can or something.

 

Hey Josh, good talking with you on the phone and for making me a super great deal on the aluminum skid plates.
I mean, with already good prices and then 20% off and then with FREE Shipping for today .....Good grief how can anyone pass this up!!!

 

Here is a season's worth of use on Josh's skids

 

No problem. You can see I had holes in the tank skid, and I did not have any issues with them, probably good for that location to allow draining.

 

My gas tank skid turned out great. Kinda scary that the stock one is plastic. If anyone has RCI skids please upload pictures and write a review on the thread posted below.

got any NEW YEAR sale for fuel tank skid plates?

 

I didn't notice but I like the gussets around the heads of the bolts in certain locations, that's pretty innovative.

 

Josh, I'm installing mine right now and I have a question about the t-case skid. With the cross member install do you reuse the driver side bolt? The stock one has a staggered thread so your bolt doesn't fit.
