1st gen BAMF Skids!!

That makes sense...I'll go through another vendor...hoped it would be beneficial to all

 

Just buy and resell... win for all


But good luck in search

 

Well I mean these haven't even been designed. But I don't know of any skid brand that mixes and matches. Most bolt to each other ever so slightly.

 

Did these ever get designed and built?

 

Still trying to get 30 people signed up. Close to the magic number.

 

I could go back and read, but you know....that takes time....

How much would the set weigh? Does he have estimates? I think my "other" brand steel 5/16 were in the 160 lb. neighborhood for the 3rd gen that I sold.

 

5/16 would be tank material and would be mortar proof and way heavy. IMO, way more that I will ever need.

My BudBuilts are 3/16" and weight in at ~140 for all three pieces. If I were to guess, Jerry's will be north of that. 1/4" with many gussets = more than 150#.

 

Think all his skids are 1/4. I'd expect around 150-60 lbs

 

Almost to 30 Free bump

 

I'm on the fence. Not sure if I'm going to keep this truck or hold out for a DC. Hmm...

 

These will work for a first gen DC

 

Kinda hard to judge as this point but i would expect at least 150 to 175lbs for the full set.

 

Yeah, I suppose there's no diff in chassis length.

 

So, ETA @JLee? Were still looking at having them ready before the end of the season right lol

Obviously JK. Just trying to get out of home making a tcase skid in the interim

 

Not a chance the minimum hasn't even been hit to start looking into designing anything. Your defiantly looking at mid winter or early spring if the 30 was hit and we started designing today.

 

Sorry man. Edited the post too late I guess. Just yanking your chain. I feel like the first gen owners are the bastards of the tw community unless you have a SAS lol

Not blaming you by any means for this. Theres obviously much more money to be made in the 2nd gen products

 

Honestly you guys do it to yourself. Most 1st gen owners are cheap we offer lots of parts at competitive prices and 1st gen parts just collect dust on our shelf. It's not going to make you happy but were removing a bunch of 1st gen parts from our site as soon as the ones in stock sell. I've had parts sitting for years and we just don't have the space to stock parts that don't move.

 

It may or may not be cause a lot of people, Atleast it seems to me that own/drive 1st gen are your new drivers and poor college kids (me).

 

Like I said, more money in 2nd gens lol. You dont happen to have a rear bumper collecting dust that you'd like to liquidate?

And idk if it's just me, but when I try to browse bumpers on your site, it comes up with swag like bottle openers and stuff

Pics for reference




I hope I'm not coming across wrong @JLee, not trying to pick on you or any vendors, just bs-in a little and expressing my hurt poverty gen snowflake feelings lol. Plus getting more bumps so maybe we can fill the last 9 slots faster. For what it's worth, the products of yours that I've seen in person are badass and look stout as hell. If I heard of yours before I bought my cheap Chinese shit, I'd be rocking your sliders. If I found a screaming deal on a bumper of yours, I'd be rockin that instead of the arb I have. Yes, I am cheap as shit. Unfortunately that's because cali is expensive and I'm the sole provider for my house. Goddamnit. Now I just admitted to being part of the problem. I'm gonna go cry in the corner now #snowflakefeels

 

his bumper on his 1st gen is sexy AF. stout too
