    I'm surprised more people aren't jumping on this.

    Things are looking good for me. PM'ed a few last questions.

    I probably havent pushed it as hard as I should have. I've been pretty slammed at work lately so I dont have much time to hop on the forums to try to sell some goodies. Just FYI, if you guys dont get the powdercoat option, you can easily shave a week off of the shipping time. Plus if you are looking to do some serious offroading, then a rattle can paint job would be an easy touch up. Just food for thought!

    Here are some pics of a skid I have recently developed for an RCD 4.5" lift. As far as I know there arent any skids offered for it so i wanted to make something up for a buddy of mine. He's beaten the hell out of it on the trails to test it out and said it was as solid as it could be. So here are some pics

    Hey fellas, here are a couple of skids fresh out the powdercoaters. They are getting backplates put on and shipping out this week!

    That's just dust on them by the way. You can see where I rubbed my hand across it to make sure that it wasnt overspray.

    What kind of custom emblem could you do on the skid plate? Could you do a Florida Gator emblem? Also, what color backplates can be done?

    01- Thanks for the pic, love the action shots, definately keep em coming!

    Fed- Yup, sure is. Its taken me a while to ship them out because I was waiting on some "industrial grade" adhesive to come in to attach the backplate. I didnt trust it once I put it on so I went ahead and remounted it a different way. Sorry for the delays, just didnt want to send anything out that I wouldnt feel comfortable with!
    It's looking solid now though and will be shipping tomorrow

    Terrin- I could do a Gator emblem for sure. The design is pretty complex though so I'd probably be better off cutting a seperate emblem and bolting the design to a bare skid. Backplates can be done in any basic colors. I can get pretty close to anything you would like

    I took thurs/friday off work but when I go back in, I'll get the status. They have about 3 skids to cut for me so they should be done in the next few days. The ones that dont have powdercoat will ship as soon as I get them back to my shop.

    It depends on the options folks choose for their skids. If you want a skid with not finish and no cuts, you are looking at about a week to ship. With finishing and custom cuts, you are looking at 2-3 weeks. I'll probably be keeping a few in stock in the near future to help cut down on lead times.
