Those skid plates look amazing! I am sure you will be very happy you have them installed. I remember cringing as I dragged the bottom of a Trail Team FJ Cruiser up trail 5 at Tellico this past GSMTR.

Wow! That red looks nice! We debated on whether to get the red or gray, finally settling on the gray to keep the car understated.
Ours should be in next week!

A nice touch would be a pint of touch up paint along with the skids.
Yes. I have the arb and the plates match perfect. Trying to attach a pic.
looks awesome! good stuff!
Just a question, are any of the bolt heads exposed after mounting??? I'm just about ready to pull out the Credit Card and order a set... Do's anyone have some pics of the rear skid plates installed
Thanks,
Thanks,
yes, would need flush bolts, as it could be embarassing to have them jam on a speedhump at the mall out front of the cafe 
All the bolts are recessed hex bolts...extremely nice.
Nice pics y'all. My wife wants some now for hers.
Just wait till k9crazy posts pics of her red skids putting down some "blood" from this weekend 
Pics of the skids with an ARB bumper please. As i am in Canada where is best place to order these that will ship here for ok cost?
Thanks
Thanks
The ONLY place to order is from BudBuilt.com - He ships FedEx Ground. To Canada ha may have other arrangements. Give him a call, his number is on his web site.
The skids are fully tested and are some tuff stuff. I did the Glitter Gulch Gambol this weekend with the Southern Nevada Land Cruisers (SNLC), a TLCA event. The second day we took a run up a mountain canyon creek bed thay consisted of mucho rocks, steps, and other obstacles. I employed the skids on several occaisions and they did not take a ding. I did take some scratches, removed some powder coat (I tried to get it back from the rock but it had turned to little curly metal filings), but not a dent. I will post pics of after I wash of the mud and dirt obscuring the carnage.

I also put the skids to a test this weekend. Cullowhee isn't a rocky place, but there are still some areas that skids are handy. I don't have a pic of the scrape yet...but Cullowhee does get first blood from the skids. Here's the rock, and some other pics....
Sold, Ordered a set this morning. Now to wait for them to make it across the country and into Canada

Apparently the install instructions will be posted on his web page in the next few days.

You won't need instructions - its really simple. Just be sure and put the threaded clip on the rear center hole of the front skid before installing the middle, or you'll lose like 5 minutes

Here is another pic of the whole underbelly with the skids installed...
Me too
...and I love the looks of it. Nice pics.....maybe I could put that on my Christmas wish list.....
I spoke with Bud tonite, and he will have a rear crossmember available very soon for the aft portion of the t-case skid plate. He is also prototyping a fuel tank skid!
