Skid plates. Where to buy?

You have one on the way?

 

lucky.

 

Goin to get the exhaust work done?

 

How big of a hassle is it to re-route the exhaust?

 

I paid about 100

 

Hrm, I just got a pm from the vendor, and he said if I wanted to save money to wait a little longer for an upcoming GB! yes!

 

Which skid plate (areas covered) and who's product? I was about to buy some skids but would be interested in waiting for a GB.

 

We will see

 

After doing a great deal of research on TW I called and spoke with Bud of BudBuilt. He couldn't have been a nicer, more helpful and informative guy. I was debating buying one of his skids and after speaking to him on the phone (we probably spent 30 minutes talking about skids, sliders, Toyota's and wheeling in general) I decided that I wanted to do business with BudBuilt. The quality is apparent in the pics on his website, and he is pretty highly regarded here on TW. My skid plate is on order and should be here next week sometime, as well as my Toytec Ultimate lift… Can’t wait… I will update after I get it all installed.

 

Thanks! I knew about the front skid GB from ATO but I was unaware of the full set GB coming up. Is there a thread already started? I'm going to check this out.

 

I don't think so. I can't wait though!

e: this just in!

 

I've had it narrowed down between the ATO & budbuilt. From all the reading Ive done these appear to be the two of the best skid builders. I may be leaving someone out and if so someone please chime in anytime. For me it's a coin toss, I could go either way.
MXracer, what did you decide?

 

I'm going to go with ATO GB(group buy). I can wait a couple weeks

 

ATO and budbuilt are the best two IMO, I have allpros front skid plate its not doing so good.

 

Im going to wait to see what type of prices the GB can get. Does anyone know how the ATO & budbuilt compare?

 

There both good, I have the ATO T-case skid and iver droped the truck on it and nothing. I also have the budbuilt gas tank skid and its also very nice

 

Decisions, decisions. This is a tough one. I've looked at booth products and they both appear to be tanks. I'm pretty sure that both are 3/16", except for ATO has a 1/4" front skid correct? You didn't have yours powder coated did you silver07taco?

 

I know the budbuilts are 3/16, I think the ATO is with a 1/4 front but im not 100% sure.

Powder coating skids is a waste of money unless there only goin to see mall use. All my skids have been done with a rattlecan.
