RCI Spring 2017 Group Buy - CLOSED

For those who ordered the transfer case skid, did the mounting crossmember ship together or separate? I received my transfer skid but no crossmember to mount it.

 

Mine was 2 separate boxes.

 

One day... I will catch an RCI group buy... Always seem to be just a bit late to the party

 

UPDATE: All installed and loving it!







Haven't completed the install but will do it first thing tomorrow morning. I wanted to give the paint some time to dry. I'm painting my front skid matte black with bedliner spray and am adding the TRD logo in metallic blue to match my BBP truck. I still need to clean up the logo edges. The photos below also don't do the metallic flake in the blue paint justice. I think it's going to come out decent. I'll also post some high resolution photos tomorrow as well post-install. Here's some teasers.

 

Updated my post to show pictures post-install!

 

Installed on Friday....and already put my Aluminum front skid to the test.

 

those wheels and accent looks sick in that blue man nice job.

 

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I'm happy with how everything came out. Almost
done modding things ...for now

 

I agree, looks really great! I would add, you are only done until you arent. So, kind of like, never really done. haha

 

Has anyone who ordered a bed rack received any information on lead time or anything? Just wondering

 

I ordered the front skid plate, and the bed racks. A week after I ordered I gave them a call, and they said the group buy had a 2-4 week expected lead time from date of purchase. So I still had a 1-3 week wait at that time. I'm now two weeks from purchase, so hopefully in the next two weeks. I asked them if the racks were in stock because I leave for Santa Fe tomorrow, as I could drive up and get them, and wait on the skid for delivery. The gal I talked with said she would check and get back with me, but I haven't heard anything. I'm hoping delivery is still in the expected date range, but no update recently.

 

Thanks for this! I figured they would be slammed and i hate to bother the vendors too much.

 

I agree. I know they are probably slammed. I'm trying to be patient, but I'm anxious, and want to get my Tepui tent up on the racks for some adventures!

 

Coincidentally, they called this afternoon and mine are ready. So I should have them next week. Hopefully yours are done soon.
Cheers!

 

Hey killer!!!! Congrats!!

 

Got my front and transmission installed this morning. Bit unnerving having leftover parts. That's usually not a good thing. So I wanted to confirm with those of you that have a third gen... Instructions say to remove the cat protector bars. But then it says to reuse the bolts to install the RCI spacer bar - which I did not order. I assume the cat bars are removed regardless. Did anyone leave theirs on? Doesn't seem like there's room for them with the skid there. But at the same time they were certainly put there for a reason

 

Yeah, by extra parts, I just mean the ones that were removed. Instructions refer to them as "cat protector bars." The steel tubing connected to the cross member. Sounds like you did the same thing I did.

 

Got my bed rack today. Thanks for putting this together

 

Anyone have pictures of how the mid skid attaches to the rear crossmember without the transfer case skid?

 

Anyone who ordered sliders heard anything yet?
