Hey Ryan!

Were you from NM to begin with & just at ISU for college or is Farmington where you've landed? Since you're in such close proximity to Moab, UT will you be going to Rock Therapy 01JUN16?

btw: I LOVE MY FULL SET OF 3/8" PLATE SKIDS!! They have already paid for themselves twice now. Once on a hidden boulder while on Ellis Jeep Trail & the 2nd time on another boulder hiding in plain sight on Top of the World.

When are you going to fab a fuel tank skid for the 3rd gen 4Runner? There can't be that much difference, right?

 

Awesome prices! Any plans to offer skids and bumpers for 2nd gen tacos in the near future?

 

I have some designed. Just not proven out yet.

 

can you do a dual swing out on the tire carrier even though its not listed ? I just hate to swing the whole carrier out to get into the back. also is there any other options on the tire carrier?

 

I could do a dual swing out. I would need to recalculate the price with 2 hinges and all that. I can do other options too. I made one with a rotopax mount.

 

One of these days i need to meet up with you i am in the west metro and you could do some design work off my truck i have full skids except a gastank skid so i would be up for being a test truck

 

please do on the price. what about a dual cage jerry can holder?

 

subd for 1st gen skids!

if i order now, will it not be ready till march? or sent out once paid and made?

 

I won't place the order for steel until March 1st. So skids won't start shipping until April I would say. They take about a month to make.

 

add me to the list for a full welded rear bumper with dual swingout and flip up license plate.

 

Woot!

 

I have a set of these skids. Great product and great dealing with @RAT PRODUCTS

 

Very interested!

 

Add me to the list for a 3 Piece set 3/16"

 

Will the 3 piece set fit 3rd gen 4Runners? Said it should up top, just want to be 100%. Put me down for that in 3/16"

 

Please put me down for the 3 piece skid set at 3/16" thickness.

I might get your bumper with the swing out as well. I like your clean simple low profile design. Can you add a fold down metal table to the swing out? I have a drawer system in the bed of my truck and when I have the drawers open I lose that tail gate space.
Also, one of the pics has reverse lights cut in the bumper. Can you do that as well?

Thanks!

 

Sure does! Got you on.

Reverse lights are in if you want them. Let me work on a drop down table. It should be possible. PM me any examples you know of.

 

I'm in Farmington, Minnesota. Unfortunately nowhere near Moab. I will want to get my diesel taco down there at some point though.
