100 Skid Plate Option

sleeoffroad · 04-07-08, 09:38 AM

We have the skid plate system prototyped. The rear belly plan is complete and ready for production, the center plate close, but the front one needs a little work. Will update when we are ready to ship.

hks3sgte · 04-07-08, 09:43 AM

what is the projected price?

sleeoffroad · 04-07-08, 09:45 AM

Don't know yet. Should have more later this week.

sleeoffroad · 04-07-08, 09:53 AM

Another view

uzj100 · 04-07-08, 09:54 AM

Looks great.

LandCruisers4Life · 04-07-08, 11:04 AM

How thick are they, and what are they made of?

sleeoffroad · 04-07-08, 11:16 AM

3/16 Hot Rolled steel. They will be supplied powder coated with black hammertone.

e9999 · 04-07-08, 11:21 AM

fancy!

3/16", is that the same as the TC skid plate for the 80?

let's see pics of the tests. You know, where you drop it on a rock and stuff...!

bluecruiser · 04-07-08, 11:22 AM

will delivery to Moab be available for the belly pan?

Hot rolled: Nice!

Christo,
Will that front skid integrate with any bumper or just the Slee front bumper? I can't tell from the pic if it can be connected without the Slee front bumper attached. Just wondering if it can be installed with an ARB bumper.
Thanks,
Greg

FATrabbit · 04-07-08, 11:38 AM

What about installation with your diff drop, will that be an issue, or do you just use the spacers?

Access to the oil drain plug and filter? (I assume these are some of the holes that I see in the pics)

Real · 04-07-08, 11:38 AM

Looks like a nice kit, Christo!

gearguywb · 04-07-08, 01:55 PM

Very Nice. I put these and sliders in the "cheap insurance" category.

80 skid plate is 1/4" but mostly since it is not supported around the edges.

There is pictures of LexusBen testing it in Moab somewhere here.

Yes, we can arrange that.

The front terminates on the cross member right in front of the radiator, just like the factory skidplate. So any bumper should be fine.

It is designed to work with the diff drop. For those that do not have the diff drop, they would need to make spacers or buy the diff drop

We figure that if you are needing skid plates, your truck is probably lifted.

Access to drain plugs are designed into the plates where we can. The big hole up front is for the oil-filter.

Looks awesome!

Now I'm looking forward to "hear" what the whole package price are and see if it gives me the chills or not.

Cheers,

He should be able to sell a lot at $149/set.

sleeoffroad · 04-07-08, 04:16 PM

The tentative pricing is $465 for the belly plate. We can supply an install kit for $75 that consists of rivet nuts, rivet nut tool (wrench type) and the correct drill bit (13.5mm)

The belly plate bolts to the existing cross member location and one other captive nut on the frame. Three holes need to be drilled and rivnuts need to be installed. We did not include the tool as we first thought we would since some people already have them.

The belly plate replaces the factory cross member.

The intermediate plate is $215 and the front plate is $375.

What's your GUESS as to what these 3 plates will weigh?

1loudLX · 04-07-08, 04:23 PM

can you mix and match? Like put the front and middle one on without the rear?

or just the front one?

sleeoffroad · 04-07-08, 04:30 PM

Belly plate is about 85lbs. I have not weighed the others. The only one you can not run on it's own will be the intermediate.

gotcha. Well I'll probably do the front one and then eventually add the other two. Is there any negative towards adding the diff drop on an AHC equipped vehicle?

farinvail · 04-07-08, 10:23 PM

Good you didn't mention it today on the phone or I would have gotten in trouble with the wife.

LandCruisers4Life · 04-07-08, 11:59 PM

3/16 is a little on the thin side..... I figured at least 1/4".

I think the front should be a little thicker if its only 3/16ths, the front is what will impact things
