FS Quikfix NEW 2nd / 3rd gen No Drill Front License Plate Brackets $20-$32

5 packages were dropped in box inside the post office last night. Tracking updates are slow from my local post office but I expect all to be delivered between Tuesday and Wednesday.
UPDATE: The packages have started moving in the USPS network and expected delivery is Tuesday for 4 packages and Monday for the one Texas destination.

 

Now only have 1 each QF-2 (not assembled $26) and 1 each QF-2A (assembled $29) remaining.
Soon I will get back to manufacturing models QF-1, QF-2, QF-2A & QF-2X brackets. Expected release around late February.

 

Well here it is mid-February and I have yet to start making more license plate brackets. I have been sidetracked with a couple of extra car repair projects. I would like to know whether there is a demand for the original small brackets or the larger full size brackets. For what it's worth the good ole post office has raised all shipping rates by roughly $1. The bottom line is the smaller brackets will be $16.50 and the larger ones will be $27.50 (you assemble) or $30.50 assembled. That is a minimum increase for the larger ones. Not much profit in the smaller ones thus a slightly larger increase. Just trying to get a feel for which ones I need to start making. If interested in either please pm me. When I get enough interest I will get back into production.

 

Started cutting material for more brackets. Now using up the material I have on hand. I will have a few small and a few large brackets for sale next week.

 

Material ordered for 35 more full size brackets. Expected release 4/1/2019.

 

Hi guys,

Are these brackets okay to go through the car wash? I'm a bit of a princess and wash it about 3-4 times a week in the winter. Mainly to get the salt off but I have to admit I like the look of a clean truck as well.

Thanks,

Erik

 

I have had the full size bracket on my truck since last year and have run it through the car wash maybe a dozen times or so and haven't had any issues with mine.

 

I haven't taken mine through an automatic car wash, but I would expect it would be fine - this bracket is solid!

 

i've gone through 3 different types of auto car washes and the bracket held up great without a flinch.

 

Haven't taken mine through an automatic wash yet, but I wouldn't be worried.

Side note, I know that in states that do NOT require a front plate, sometimes they use a higher pressure spray for the front end. When I use to visit Michigan, the automatic car washes had warning signs for possible damage to out of state cars with front plates.

 

I have one of those unlimited wash plans so i basically wash my truck an average of 3 times a week. Its a “no touch” wash (no brushes) and the brackets are solid. Zero regrets buying them.

 

Right on. Thanks for the input. Sounds like the full front license plate holder is the way to go. Appreciate the feedback.

Erik

 

Just a note that I am now working on a new quality grade 6061 aluminum QUIKFIX seat riser design that, while priced in between the cheap basic round bar with holes drilled and the much more expensive cnc billet machined seat risers, should be more appealing and more reasonably priced. New tools and materials have been ordered. I will post pictures here before I run a new ad.

 

New product teaser ad. Expected release 03/21/19
NEW 3rd gen Tacoma QuikFix seat risers. $45 for 1 seat. $85 for 2 seats. Price includes hardware and shipping.
Made from gr 6061 aluminum with gr 10.9 bolts. Contoured to fit the shape of the seat anchor. The surface is
polished and prepared for you to paint if desired. The square shape provides a more secure surface area than
simple round spacers. Adds approximately 15/16" to rear seat height to level seat and ease back tension.

 

UPDATE: I will have 136' (over 1600") of aluminum material, 400 screws (both stainless screws and grade 10.9 bolts), and some upgraded cutting tools later this week. Production switch will be "on" next weekend. That is for small brackets, full size brackets and new seat risers.

 

I'm in for a full size one.

 

GOT YOU Erik. Check out my new logo(s). Still playing around with a design for an upcoming Web site.

This happened today. Waiting on one more package before I start cutting.

 

Getting ready to start working tomorrow night.

UPDATE. I got delayed starting today (Friday) so only going to machine seat risers this weekend. Then I will switch gears and setups and focus solely on Full License Plate Brackets. After I get a surplus of those I will start sending out pm's. Thanks for the interest and patience.

 

New seat risers are finally available. Contour cut to fit the seat anchor brackets. Pictures are prototypes. Rest will be cut more precise. Will get back on plate brackets by Monday. Will somebody stop looking and vacuum my truck please.
