    Update 09/07/2017: I was able to get SOS Concepts to make me a set of their skids in Aluminum. They should be shipping Monday. The original steel version is shown on the left... my aluminum version is on the right:


    Update 09/22/2017: The new skids came today. Picked them up from the local Fastenal:


    Update 10/15/2017: A big thanks goes out to my good friend Jason Mann for helping me weld up my sliders to the truck today:
