    Slider Info

    Sub-par work, welds were ugly all around. Had them on my LC, I'd just make my own next time as I was close to cutting parts of it off and redoing some of the work. Would make a ton of noise and rattle as it would be too close to everything else.

    Broke radiator nipple, ugh

    People really buy those metal ones? Heck, I can cut so many out from all my scrap metal.

    Blown hard brake line. Any sources?

    Make your own, or have your mechanic make it.

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Damn, this is our first and only! Helps I'm retired though, so when I'm not making automotive parts (for 2 local shops here), I'm making signs for others.

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    If it's within those limits, perfect. I already have a 2nd Gen Tacoma skid I need to cut next month and not to mention a ton of brake conversion brackets for a shop. Good s*** though, if I kept the LC I would've made more skids to protect the underside. Being a stay at home dad with a 3 month...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    A member simply asked if I'd make a set and what I would charge. He isn't running any sliders, at least that I'm aware of, and I told him with my LC gone if he can sketch it up (or put it on cardboard) we can figure it out. My sliders had a built-in cat shield. I'd just charge for cost of...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Pointless thread, I know. Just waiting to hear back from a member regarding dimensions in order to make a CAT shield. Also, that skid plate I made has yet to be picked up. I'm the dummy for even making it; he's waiting to get paid in order to pay me for it. Got so bored I even painted it...

    Highest Quality Radiator

    I know you said you want the best but, I didn't want the nipple on an OEM radiator breaking on me again. Ordered a Leiland right after getting back; incident happened 8 hours away from home where I had our 2 dogs and pregnant wife with me. Fit like a glove. While I was in there, it gave...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Found measurements just as my power had gone out. Soon as it was back, I cut the brackets and finished the bends. Told the customer I can't finish the rear mount without his vehicle present though.

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Didn't expect it but got a customer request for this skid plate for his recently acquired 80 series. Asked if I'm providing metal or if he is; wants me to do so. Love when free scrap I've got laying around works out perfectly. Also 1/4" thick so it'll be beefy AF. Don't have the...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Thanks! Naw I'm on the hunt for a Pick Up or single cab Tacoma; had a Tacoma before (as well as a 3rd Gen 4R) so really familiar with the platform. This way I can have an off-road only vehicle. Someone recently messaged me about a CAT shield, told him I'd be happy to fab one up.

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Use it all the time. Been meaning to modify it to a larger variant due to the sheer number of requests I get for larger items. But then I'd need a larger press brake as well.

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    All mounted up! Even tested it right the next day; it's freaking solid even on the temporary mount setup. Anyway, no longer got the LC as I got rid of it about a day or two after all that. Maybe I'll post up some pics of a CAT shield request another member has made. Just waiting on...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Since this was meant to be a one-day job, and being short on time, I made a temporary solution to use solid rod to figure out the angle and length of square tube needed for the real mount. That and "while I was there" I decided to weld on that front diff armor I had in my spare metal box for...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    The trio, although the cardboard cutout went right into the trash after this pic and the 16 gauge draft piece got recycled. Mounting holes were perfect, as expected. And here, figuring out how to quickly mock up the mount. I had the idea to sandwich two pieces of 1/4" around the frame...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    With one of the mounting holes adjusted, and the addition of the two rear mount holes, I made a last minute change to center my name around the drain access. Onto cutting; opted to use 1/4" for strength, and cause I had plenty extra. Anyone that does CNC at home can appreciate these...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Fitment proved to be a success with the exception of one of the mounting holes being off by as little as 1/16". Not bad considering I half-ass measured everything while on my back. Wanted to include drain access for easy servicing without requiring removal of the skid. Just mocking up the...
