Budbuilt IFS Skid

Has anyone gotten one of these recently? I'd like to get one (as long as it it is compatible with the ARB winch bull bar) but I have emailed Bud now on several occasions and still haven't received a response.

Are they still doing business or what?

I've always had amazing customer service everytime I've tried to call him. I've emailed him numerous times, and he always responds within a day or two. I'm surprised he's not responding to you. I guess try giving him a call.

Bud is great. I just emailed him a couple of days ago and he wrote back the next morning. You should check the email to see if you have the right one.

He e-mails me back everytime. I'd definitely order one from him to go with my front bumper.

he's a busy busy busy guy.
Which would you rather a guy like thembe doing, working in teh shop building stuff, or playing around online?

I bend the snot out of my BB t-case crossmember in an ECORS race.
I talked to Bud about it, while I was passing through NC I left it w/ a buddy, who dropped it off at his shop.
He bent it back, and shipped it mack to me in MD FREE and included some new hardware to boot.
Can't complain about service like that.

Bud is a badass, his skids are LEGIT... I called him from Iraq, hes an older dude so talking is much better than the email bull crap people these days rely on. So holler at him, he'll do it up right. I was stupid and only ordered the IFS skid, then about a month later got smart and ordered the Belly Skid... DEF do the combo, its mad good price for those skids and they are BULLITT proof... now I just gotta figure out how to stiffin the gas tank skid.... ALSO I'm pretty sure ARB are bolt on to the bumper mounting points on yer frame, and therefore should not interfere with the 3 bolt holes that are on the crossmember right behind those mounting points at a smidge lower level. If I recall there are 7 bolts that are used for the IFS skid... DO IT, and if you do, CALL him... good good dude and good prices, and his powdercoating is a decent price, which I highly recommend
