Haha, well since i have the design down I'll need to take some dimensions off a first gen. I'll see what I can do

 

I wonder if anyone in the Houston area has a 1st gen that they'd volunteer for a test vehicle

 

Looks good.

I still have some slots open for this small batch. If it isnt filled by Tuesday, I'm going to close it so I can get these orders out. So if you want one, let me know asap!

 

I would volunteer BUT at 1900 miles each way ...thats a "Road trip"....Then again I do have family in Houston.....

You do know once these actually get seen in person by the "Toyo" crowd things might get busy.........

One last question, the "laser cuts" are custom BUT how much extra for a "different" cut???....You know how Toyota owners like to "Customize".....

S

 

Haha yeah, that would be a pretty rough drive. Well i suppose that it depends on the design. I'd have to take it on a case by case. I guess I'll ball park it at about 30-40 for a custom cut since there will be some extra design work done.

 

Payment sent.

 

I have a couple of slots left for this batch. Shoot a pm my way if you are interested. It should be a pretty quick turnaround once the order is placed

 

hey man those look awesome i would be very interested would you powder coat speedway blue? if not silver or black is cool!

anyway i might get in on a second batch but anyhow...will it work if you didnt have a stock silver plate

 

I'm sure my powdercoater has a blue in stock.. I'll ask him specifically about the speedway though.

Is the stock silver plate you're referring to the skid plate or the shiny piece that comes up in the front and covers the bumper a bit?

 

im not shure what the shiny thing you speak of is.... maybe like the thing in your pics on the bumper my truck doesnt have that.....
but what im asking bout is the stock silver skid plate thats optional on older 2nd gens...it had two tow hook holes

 

i have a first gen taco i could probably let you use if interested. i live magnolia/tomball area north of houston

Milly Mill!

It should fit any 2nd gen taco and doesnt interfere with the tow hooks. So it should work for yours. You might check to see if it has the mounting brackets on there though. If not then you'll need to order them before the skid plate will work.

Thanks rusty, I'll definately keep you posted.

 

I am going to be working some diff protection this weekend. one option will be a separate cover to go with this style, the 2nd option will be a long 1 piece skid.

 

May be interested in the two piece design depending on price for the separate diff skid. Would want unfinished and no TRD cut

 

How's things going with the plates? You ever get somebody with a 1st gen to commit for measurements? If not, I can ask a few people at work if they are willing...

 

Here is a pic of the skid plate with the bedliner done:


I used red rustoleum to paint a piece of aluminum to mount behind the cutout


I mounted the aluminum with epoxy, here's the finished product! I'll post pics of it mounted later...waiting for the black paint to dry on my washers...
