FS: 1st Gen STAINLESS STEEL SKID PLATES - NEPA

I'm also using a Low Range Offroad aftermarket gas tank skid--very nice product for not a ton of money.

 

Nothing. With the type of off roading I do, I really don’t need any more protection than this skid. I am frequently in deep snow or tall grass that sometimes conceals big rocks. If I hit one of those the front skid will be enough. Belly skids are more for rock crawling kind of stuff that I really don't do.

 

If I missed the answer, my apologies.

Still making these? And 04 Tacoma automatic?

 

Same, are we still getting these? Anyone get a response?

 

I gave up trying to get one, even after he told me he some ready to go. With that, there is a group buy going on with RCI off-road. They make first gen front skids if you’re interested to get on the group buy list.

thanks, added to the list

 

happy for you but sad for the rest of us lol

 

I contacted him and said he has some about ready to go...Already paid for

 

Contacted him around June/July time frame and he stated he may have some stuff at the end of September and that he would contact me, unfortunately no joy on the contact. Its too bad, looks like he does some stellar work. Looked at the RCI group buy thing but it seems they don't make skids for 1st gen regular cabs, did not realize they are different in the front compared to the ext cabs/double cabs.....or am I mistaken?

 

There shouldn't be any difference.

 

Actually I was told that there is a difference, but I could be wrong.

 

From RCI Website.

 

Not yet but I’m right at the 4 week mark...

 

I emailed Ethan a month ago bout purchasing a skid. This was in regards to a previous email I had sent in late October about the availability of a skid for my model year. Haven't heard back from the most recent email.
I did however find this site interesting. I wasn't aware these skids were available elsewhere. That could be my ignorance.

Huh make me a member if that club too!

 

SRQ is an online retailer for a lot of local shops/independent merchants like Ethan.

1) I would be shocked if SRQ actually had any inventory--I believe they relay orders to the manufacturer, so you'd be in the same situation as buying direct.

2) I've only had bad experiences with SRQ, so I would personally recommend steering clear of them.

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

I emailed Ethan a while back and he replied a couple of weeks ago. Should be receiving my skid today

 

I got mine last week and it really looks good and hope to have it on within the week.

 

I emailed him, I hope he responds because I’d really like to surprise myself with one of these for my birthday.
