    Well I really hate to say this, but skid plates got delayed until next week. My supplier had a mechanical failure...

    "Ryan,

    See the pic below. The pump grenaded in our press brake. I have taken your parts over to a local shop that does work for us. They will form them next week. We are looking at almost a week of delay.

    Wish I had better news."

    Although I didn't plan for it, things like this happen once in a while. Sorry for the delay!

    I'm hesitant to say anything since last time I shot myself in the foot, but they should be done and picked up tomorrow.

    I will get everything packaged this weekend and they will go out via Fedex Monday. Fedex will email y'all tracking numbers when I make the labels.


    I had a few people jump in after this ended, but I still have a few skids available if anyone else is interested.

    Fedex should have picked up the skids and emailed y'all tracking numbers. I can't find any info in my fedex account that says I printed labels, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Either way, I hope the skids got picked up like they were supposed to. I will know later tonight.

    Toytec Ultimate 3" lift susp w/ OME 891 rear coils, Bilstein 5100 shocks front & 5125 rear, ARB 'Roo Bar, Warn VR10k, 0.7, 2 & 11-meter 2 way radios, Nitrogen inflated 33" BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s, FlexFuel E-85 conversion, AFe lifetime filter, Savage Offroad rock sliders, Ryno All Terrain 4.5mm skid plates, Line-X coatings on the armor, LifetimeLED & Rigid Industries LED headlights, UltraGauge 1.2, T3q 4.10 eLocker with armor from LROR, AmsOil lubricants used throughout. CBI plate rear bumper with swingaway, SPC Light Racing UCAs, ARB SS170HF Safari snorkel w/ Afrikaans centrifugal pre-cleaner, Tacoma antenna mod, TRD Supercharger w/ URD 7th inj. & URD pulleys, Anti-Dark engine bay lighting system. Having gone 250k, Aug 2016 was the time to replace the original clutch & get the driver's seat rebuilt/stuffed. Front & back Weathertech liners. Tundra front disc brake swap. Full length Rocky Mountain Rack with 40" lightbar & alternating strobe rear dust lights. I used a warm weekend in March 2022 to finally install my brand new, from old stock, 2000 4Runner driver's seat. $800 directly from the factory in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
    [FONT=&quot]I’ve been doing my research into bed liners & have found the only one that is worthy of its reputation by way of the Myth Busters. See the attached YouTube video for the cut & dry review. Line-X is a Military Specification impact liner & it’s resistance to explosives are particularly interesting. Based on their product information & the independent testing it would appear that your 3/16” (& possibly the 1/8") plate coated with Line-X will make your plate(s) & my 4Runner landmine/IED resistant. It is also backed up by a lifetime 100% performance/satisfaction guarantee. The quote my local processor gave me for the Savage Offroad rock sliders & the 3 skid plates was $400.

    You said that you had some left. I'm interested in an unpainted 1/8" unit, just the front piece. Shipping to 94952.

    And if you don't have any left, I'll look for the next group buy.

    Thanks.

    I'm surprised you guys are getting the skids already! I had to battle fedex on Monday and Tuesday about picking them up. The dude showed up in a minivan expecting to pick up over 1000 pounds of steel. No one was around to help him load them so he left. I spent 40 minutes on the phone with corporate hashing out what to do now. I told them to forget the pick up and I ended up loading the 120 pound packages into my truck by myself Monday evening and taking them to the fedex dock Tuesday evening about 5pm after work. Tuesday midday I get like 8 calls from fedex people and a person at my shop saying that fedex is there to pick up the packages. WTF. I told them to forget the pick up.

    Maybe fedex expressed them for me for all the hassle. I was beyond irate.

    Woohoo got my skids Thursday while at work! Hate that you had such a pain with FedEx Ryan. They even didn't notice all my mounting hardware rolling around in the back of their truck. I'm sure it made a racket!

    Kind of. You would need to cut back the turn up that covers steering rack. Few mins with a cut off wheel and you'd be ok.
