    I will also be working on a differential cover in the next week or so. I plan on having the option for the 2 piece kit or the long single piece.

    My truck was the "test truck". It's a damn solid skid plate for sure. I was quite impressed with how well it fit. Looking forward to seeing what else MetalMiller comes up with.

    Looks like I got the mounting holes fixed, all I have to do is get the specs on the bolts and buy some a bit longer then I'll be ready to start shipping some out! I can either cut them solid or with the TRD, just let me know which you want. Here are some pics of the mount test.... btw we got owned, it started pouring about halfway through

    I finally have some pricing done... The plate without the cut will be 180 unfinished. The ones with the TRD are 190. Shipping and handling is $40. If you want a powdercoat, add $35. It can be done in any basic color i.e. metallic silver, fire engine red, caution yellow, white and so on. Extended bolts will be included for mounting, this will compensate for the thicker plate.

    I will be taking orders for 5 for this first batch to test production and to catch any potential problems. If you are interested in getting one of these send me a pm. It will be on a first come first serve basis. After I have recieved feedback I will be able to take all other orders(should only be a couple of weeks from now)

    This batch should be ready for shipment by the first week of feb.
