Bud is working on a redesign for the belly pan support cross-member for the Tacoma’s. I have to wait for him to complete the R&D and then he will ship it out to me. I tested the front skid out on some rocks and couldn’t be happier. To bad he doesn’t make armor plated bedsides because might have prevented this.

I was out in Moab last weekend. Did Hell's Revenge, Flatiron Mesa, part of Cliffhanger (crux+), Elephant Hill, and Horse Canyon. The skid got used once to surf across a rock and hit several times on the front corner below the IFS crossmember. The belly pan was used a couple of times. The low-profile crossmember definitely helped with clearance. I was very glad to have them.

Where's Bud?
Anyone heard from Bud lately? I sent him an email early last week, then again late last week with receipt requested. Haven't heard back from yet. No "read receipt" either. Did he get lost in Tellico?

Sorry guys, still alive. 
Just been really busy and working on some more new products. Will catch up with emails soon.
I did not run lower 2 due to the mud but did manage to do School bus and pinch rock. The new fender and door should be here soon...
Thanks for the patience!

Glad to hear you are living Bud. I was kind of worried because normally you reply back to e-mails pretty fast. I am no hurry on the cross-member just would like to have it on there before TTORA Take-Over at the end of July. I will be doing the easy stocker trails so don’t think it will matter much.

Yeah, glad to hear you're OK! And that business is thriving I think the belly will be OK going up Blanca Peak trail the first of July, as long as I don't roll backwards in the middle of Jaws 1. That could (possibly, but slim chance) munch the back of my T/C.
On a side note. I found out last night that I'll have to narrow down the very front of my skid by about 1/4" on each side so the TJM bumper mounts can bolt on and the skid can go on & come off easily.
