    I'd love too, but my budget is tight, and I have other maintenance items coming this spring. I was just thinking about, how durable are the factory skids for off road. I'm sure their fine for mild shit, but from some of the vids I've watched here on TW, heavy duty is the way to go for serious off road travels.

    The stock "skids" are complete garbage. Unless your gonna stick to mall crawling ull want something more protective.

    I don't think it's very likely. There's a market there for them. But 4xinovations filled it in a way. They sell 1/4" skids for our trucks and for a good price. I think Jerry could have made a better design but he is more focused on the 2/3rd gen market as it is much much larger.

    Yeah I've wrote this off as not happening. I'm stretched thin as it is with designing new products and we have tried quite a few times to get enough people to commit on these skids. The market just isn't there from what I've seen, We have to focus on products that there is a current market for.
