    Had the same thing happen 2 years back when ordering mine, calling netted instant response.

    Likewise, since you're in Cali take a peek at Pelfreybillt, Tyler is a standup guy, and does amazing work.

    FYI, I called them this morning lvm. They called me back 10 minutes later, addressed my questions and I ordered a 4 piece set of steel bare skids. They had them in stock and FedEx em out today. Excellent!
    Shannon and Bud Thank you very much!

    Will let you know how install and testing goes.
    Thanks for the help TW Members!

    Got them painted. Used Rustoleum bed liner.
    Not installed yet though. Need to drill the frame for drivers side BAMF rock sliders first.
    Hopefully this weekend.

    Yeah, Bud's an awesome guy and his product is great too. One thing I'd like to mention is that whoever does his powdercoating is hands down the best I've come across. I've had bumper PC flake off in sheets while Bud's PC is solid and protects. I suggest you take a look at the differential skid too. I have one and it's got major gouges on it from the trails. I'm glad I have it!
