Gonna go with one, I'm looking at a ladder on the passenger side and it will block the window.

Noted
Not sure your ladder needs but my rear mounted Gobi ladder is a very well made product.

Panels are being CNC cut this week and go to the powder coater next week.
Completed windows should be available before Christmas.

What color are they being powdercoated ?

Matt black pictured below is a production panel

The window on my 80 is very close to the actual color but mine is a painted prototype not the production panel.

Would a satin black match the factory trim a bit better?

 

[Cruzilla]

Im looking to have the ladder to also be a swing out tire carrier support as well, I dont like how the rear tire moves forward and backward on certain roads during highway speeds. I'm waiting for the spindle on my swingout to work harden and snap off! I know its a quality product (4x4 labs) but id rather error of the side of caution!
(regarding your Gobi ladder comment)

The powdercoat we use is a fine textured black BK-59 Cardinal Black - Cardinal Paint is a very popular finish that translate into a quick turn around. We consulted with the experts at Gorilla Industrial – Powder Coatings for a choice to have a quick turn around, be very durable and resist scratching from off road use. It has proven to be accurate from our feedback.

Powdercoating these days is very resonable and if our choice does not meet your needs the cost to change is less than $20. Gorilla Industrial offers 100+ colors and texture to meet anyone needs.

My windows are Krylon textured black also recommended as a touch up to the powder coating we use if ever needed. So its a very close match to give a better idea on the actual color and finish.

[LandCruiserPhil]

Christmas dozen all ready spoken for.
Taking deposits for the next run available after the first of the year.

 

[Cruzilla]

You can bump me out till the next run if someone really needs on on this run, Im not in a super hurry to get it till spring/summer anyway. ( I already paid deposit)

 

[smokeybear]

I'll just wait for the second go around. Not in a big rush.
