    So for anyone that is seriously interested please send me a PM. I will try and group a couple of orders together so I can get the best price on the steel and the bending. I am going to pick up the steel by the end of Friday so if you want in please let me know before then!

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Would this cause the pricing on the first page to change?

    I'm interested, but I really need to sell my other stuff to fund these.

    Unfortunately not on the single pricing, unless I get a decent enough group wanting multiple single skids. The more metal I purchase and have bent, the better a deal I can get from them: So doing it in groups allow me to save, which in turn lets me pass the saving on to yall. Hopefully that makes sense.

    As of right now I have 1 committed buyer, once I get 3 more then I'll go ahead and get the metal and start on it.

    Gotcha. I should have hit you up then so I'd have them already. Didn't know you made skids until today

    It's all good, we'll get them done in time for hot springs I believe. I didn't really advertise that much, was thinking about it, just hadn't made the leap. A couple of the guys up there were running some id made when I first started. I sent you a PM back a little bit ago with some info.

    I'm interested in a full set. I'll send you a pm later after I get off work. Does your set require any drilling of the frame to install?

    Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for it. The only drilling into the frame will be where the rear crossmember for the t-case skid mounts to the frame. Just one hole on each side.
