    I could pull that off. I'll see what kind of fonts I have that in when I get home. I did a pretty cool one awhile back. Do you want a colored backplate for the cut out? I can even ship that bare so you dont have to commit to colors just yet.

    If you guys know anyone that's not on this forum that might be interested, just have them shoot me an email and I can put them down that way. I'm really not involved on other forums, but if you are and want to mention it there, feel free. The more we get, the better price I can get for you.

    Will your stock skids work with your plate bumper?

    I will start on them as soon as the 5 spots are filled. I really want to get the 5 for the discount, but if you guys decide you dont want to wait and just want to order we can just put the order in at regular price. I'll get the work order out for the skids the same night the payments clear. I accept paypal, check and money order. Just let me know what is more convenient for you.

    Not able to participate in the GB this go round. Sliders are me next priority. Curious as to whether or not you figured out a hole for changing the oil. That's a key factor in whether I get the skid plate or not. Trying to make an expedition/crawling rig, but it's also a DD for now, so I need to be able to service it without too much frustration.

    I started a list of people that are holding out for the 15% if we get 10 people. The group buy thread will have the most up to date lists
