FS: 1st Gen STAINLESS STEEL SKID PLATES - NEPA

Just got mine test fitted. This thing is beefy. Its easily twice as big as the stock skid and twice as heavy. Its totally worth it for the extra protection, and it looks badass. I did manage to destroy 2 of the bolts that came with it but I am pretty sure that's because the threads in my crossmember are worn pretty bad. Replacing a couple bolts and retapping some threads isn't a big deal. Worth every penny IMO.

X-2 on quality, fit ,finish , and value!

 

Just need to decide 7ga or 10ga? Not really a rock krawler in the Tacoma but never know what a desert wash may throw out.

 

Count me in for the one with the TRD!

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have an automatic.

 

Emailed you for the 1/8" "TRD" skid. Let me know if you have it still and how to pay please?

 

Got my tracking number. should be here for weekend project.

 

Starting thinking about running another batch of skids. Anyone out there think I should make some with "YOTA" "TACO", "SR5", or possibly something else cut out?

 

I'd be interested in one that said Taco, need to wait for the tax return though

 

When we were talking aluminum I was also thinking the Toyota "bull" logo would have been cool. Just a thought.

 

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I will almost certainly make some with the logo this time around.

 

very interested-looks to be a great deal... completley broke tho!
this logo maybe?

 

Still waiting on the auto skids sub'd

 

He does

 

Maybe ordering another set for a friend soon . Prob in the 1/4" thick . Just waiting for him to give me green light. How soon are u expecting to do another run ?

 

I'd like to make at least 4 at a time because of material yeild. So I guess the answer is as soon as I can get 3 or more people to commit to buying ones that I don't already have in stock, I'll order some material and fire up the laser.

 

can you do a skid for a second gen?

 

Got mine installed today, sweet piece of steel, stainless that is. Fit right up. Had little trouble as well with cross member bolts but got them in.

 

I'm working on it. 2nd Gen skids should be available some time in March.

 

I just wanted to finally get a post on here about Ethan's SS skidplate. I got one for my 97 T4R (auto) a couple months ago, but have been so busy with work I haven't been able to get on here to tell you guys how nice they are!

I don't have time today to post pictures, but I will soon, promise!

These are way thicker than I thought they would be and the quality is outstanding! Everything fit perfectly!

I am in PA and we recently got hit with a record snow storm that dropped almost 3 feet of snow on us in 24 hours. I had to get to my elderly parents house 20 minutes away after this storm with no roads plowed.

I can tell you that I honestly believe this skid plate helped me enormously with how well it covers!

And it being SS I'm not worried as much about the thing rusting with all the crap that they put on the roads here in PA.

I can't thank Ethan enough for a great product, and if you are even thinking about a skidplate, get this one, it is AWESOME!
