    Hey Bud,

    Thanks for answering my question. Since yours seem to be the best and voted for in this thread, would you mind holding a group buy? I'm sure plenty of people on this site would be interested and it would give you a quick boost in orders for these tough times :)

    Hey thanks guys!

    But we just don't do group buys. :( They always end up with someone who missed out being mad at us and they spread it around the internet FOREVER! Sorry. Once bitten, twice shy. ;)

    BUT!!! We forgot to increase the Taco skid sets the first of the year so if you hurry, you can still get the set for $700 and $850 They will go up to $750 and $900 March first.

    AND we always work with folks who want to do a true group buy:
    You know, the kind where a GROUP of folks order stuff and have it shipped to One commercial address and save both on shipping and a discount on the bunch. For example, we just did one for 5 sets of FJ skids to CA that saved each person $179. :)


    Oh and another comment: Keep in mind that we are kinda mixing generations here. Tigerfan ( and Me! ) have early tacos and the pics posted are of the 05 and newer style. Early ones only have 2 skids, and one crossmember, where the newer ones have 3 or 4 skids and one crossmember. The first gen ones are 55# each! The newer ones are 38 and 42 and 45 so less overall for individual pieces. You can take them off one at a time too. :)


    Oh, YES the drain valve works on both generations. I like the old school socket on an extension the best but to each his own. :)

    I totally agree. I would love to have a set of Buds skids. As I mentioned in my previous post I just can't see putting down the $900 (new price) + shipping on a set. They just won't see the use that they deserve:D Awesome that Bud is on here though!!!
