    Cool, thank you! Very reasonably priced, and will get one eventually for the peace of mind. Do you intend to keep this as a regular product again?

    That's the plan. I now have a reliable shop to cut the blanks in, so it shouldn't be an issue to keep them in stock.

    Too bad you’re not closer. I’ve been eying the pelfrey skid.

    It's already got a new home, apparently lots of people have plans of bashing their fuel tank. I found it excessive, after almost 4 years on my truck where I wasn't careful it had a few small scratches on the original paint job.
    The hit that a steel skid will stop that the UHMW skid won't will likely crush your gas tank.

    Some really cool shit
    My first thought upon looking at the skid was that it is shaped like a dugout canoe. Therefore, my concern was will it hold water in there. Not that that is a big deal, but don't need a mobile mosquito nest.

    Perfect cause I just noticed that my rear gas tank strap has rusted through so I'm going to need to drop the stock "skid" once the new strap arrives anyways....

    How well do these accept paint? I just received mine and didn't realize it was going to be blue. I prefer black. I was thinking I may just hit it with some flat black spray paint.

    According to his website the only two DCSB in stock are blue. You better jump on it as I'm thinking about getting one, but would rather have black.

    I'll be cutting more blanks next week guys. The blue is actually a higher grade material than the black since it's virgin uhmw, but I can understand the color preference.
