    I'll get added onto the list for these @cnote4l So to confirm we'll pay once you get enough people wanting it for a round 2 of ordering?

    Added to the list! This new set will definitely keep all the slush out of your engine bay(based on profile pic). I'm waiting for it to build up to 15-20 before taking any PP, I anticipate the list filling up within the next week so it shouldn't take to long based on the past.

    Please count me in for a set for a 3rd gen.
    Just to confirm, does this come with mounting hardware?
    Thanks OP.

    I can include a hardware kit if you want the ease of not shopping for a fit. Also, the versitility of mounting these new guards is another reason why I don't include hardware much because each person has a different idea of mounting these. Ex. All push clips/rivets or some bolt the top row to hang and support the weight and pin the bottom with clips...or hell even all bolts like @ChadsPride

    Thanks for the update and totally understand. What type of hardware would you provide and what would be your ideal recommendation for mounting? Is there a significant weight difference between factory and stock? Are the stock clips strong enough to support these new guards? Just trying to plan ahead before receiving the product. Thanks in advance.

    I'd provide a combination of SS hardware and xmas clips, ideally I'd recommend 3 bolts that spread along the top that let the guards hang freely and then pin up the rest with a snug Xmas clip or rivet. That's personally how I mounted mine. However it all depends how far your pushing your truck to the limits, if your Baja racing or trailing you should bolt up as much as you can. Each piece is 3+ lbs soaking wet so there is a noticeable difference between stock and this set.

    Looking forward to your install have fun with it! Snap a before/after pic if you can.

    Thanks for ordering! :thumbsup:

    Thanks for this information, and I would like to opt for you to include the hardware with the kit if possible.

    @My Truck @tyme_and_place the most economic and reliable hardware kit is (optional) add. $16 includes SS Hardware (6 bolts/ 12 fender washers/ 6 lock nuts/ 20 push clips) it's all you will need and what I run on my truck
    20170309_144250.jpg
    With the hardware kit you can just open the box n start installing w/o having to source hardware that fits. If your going a different route like more bolts less clips/vice versa PM me for details

    @nocean the ARB BP-51 coilovers shouldn't interfere with mounting the new guards. Plus I've had many members install these with reservoirs in many spots. I think if @12TRDTacoma was able to fit these with all his equip in the wells anyone can!! 20170310_143503_zps8y3hf88m.jpg

    Not the cleanest setup as far as being shiny and pretty is concerned but it is very effective for what I enjoy doing. :thumbsup: these will fit on ANYONE'S rig if I was able to fit them in.

    Oh and edit: I've been running these without issue since I installed them. They are well made and the extra coverage from outside debris running into the engine compartment is definitely an added bonus.

    Thanks for this information. I will actually pass on the hardware kit. Seeing how simple it is, I have those parts sitting in my garage. Can't want to get these things on when they become available.
