    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

    That looks awesome. Let me know what the prices are when it's figured out. Great way to spend the tax return.

    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.

    Sorry about that! I missed a couple of posts. As far as I know, the pricing will stay about the same. I will be offering a lower group buy price with later batches if I can get about 10 orders.

    As far as the diff cover goes. This particular design works with the stock diff cover. I will be making a longer plate in the near future that will cover both but there will be a nice price difference and shipping will probably be a tad more. I just need to get a few dimensions and do a test run on the longer skid.

    For people that buy these skids and might decide they want to upgrade their diff cover later down the road, I will be designing a separate differential cover also.
