    Hey everyone, I’m located in Monrovia and looking to see if anyone knows of a good shop that makes skids for 3rd gens. I wanted some RCI’s but it’s be nice to just drive to a shop and grab some decent ones and not have to pay $200 in shipping. Thanks

    ^^ I completely agree with you on this. Which is why I haven't ordered mine. I am still hopeful to find a decently priced used set locally to avoid the shipping.

    When I ordered my RCI skid plate, aluminum material, the shipping cost was less than $20. Not so bad.

    I was looking for a while and ended up ordering from Bay Area Metal Fab. Their prices and shipping are really fair and your supporting a Cali business. Also, Jerry the owner is awesome.
