    Soonish. I have the skids cut and am working on sourcing the straps, hooks, and bolts. I'm doing what I can to find good pricing on them so I can pass on the savings to you guys.

    I do have two blue DCSB skids cut out right now. The default will be black, but when I can pick up random drops of the other colors I will.

    Sure can! I have a piece cut for a cutting board in my camping kit. :D

    The straps and hooks came in yesterday. I still need to pick up the bolts and bend the tabs for the straps. We're getting very close!

    If you have an OR you already have the straps right or do you need separate straps and bolts for the skid also?

    The skids attach over the gas tank straps, though the offroad has the studs sticking down. You'll have to drill holes for the studs to go through, or cut the studs off. I suggest just drilling holes in the skid.

    I have the skids cut, but I need to get under an FJ again for the install instructions. They'll be out shortly after the taco skids. I'll announce them here and with a customer email blast.
