    We are scrapping a ton of 3/16 Diamond plate at work right now. If anyone would like a plate made out of this material please let me know ASAP so I can catch some before it goes into the scrap bin!

    I'm glad you asked. I"m making arrangements to get a stock first gen skid and diff cover to come my way. Once it's here I'll pull some measurements and I'll be good to go.

    so to answer your question. I'll be making first gen skids within a few weeks.

    I'll need a volunteer for that longer skid to let me spend some time under their truck. I spend most of my time in the shreveport area, but i spend about a week a month in Houston.

    And yessir sarge, I will have a 1st gen skid in the next few weeks.

    Well I was unable to find some rocks or anything to take some nice pictures with, so my friend and I decided to take a different approach to product testing. We wanted to see how "bulletproof" they were. So I took the first skid I ever made for R&D and we took some shots at it. It stopped our pistol and shotgun rounds with no problem. We even shot a 50 caliber ball at it from the shotty. However, it didnt stop shots from an M4 or AK. (Kinda expected, but it was fun to shoot at!) Here are a couple of shots of the shot up skid, I'll post videos in the next few days

    Disclaimer: I am in no way, shape or form am claiming that my skids are rated for or are capable of stopping bullets. These tests were just for fun.

    What would the price on the scrap diamond plated ones be? Also, do these replace the trd option skid too, or just the bottom lower one?

    I havent been able to work up a price on the diamond plate one yet, I'm sure it will be about the same. When you say the optional TRD plate, are you referring to the part that comes up in front of the bumper as well? There are pics of the coverage on the first post of this thread. I'll also link a picture for one of my most recent skids
