i got off the phone with Bud a little while ago. he said to THANK EVERYONE for the business and he's sure this will put him over the top for April - over $4000 in this group buy alone, and most of it is buisness that he otherwise wouldn't have had at this point!

anyway, he's covered up, and that's a good thing! he said that everyone who ordered a 3rd gen runner belly pan won't ship until next week when he gets more of them in. they're a little different from the tacoma belly pans (he has 3 of those in stock) and so he has to have more made to fill the orders. he is going to process all the cards over the weekend, then start sending stuff out on monday. the one's with the skid-belly-combos may ship as late as thursday or friday of next week, but that's only if his steel cutter (CNC by the way) holds him up any.

 

cool, i hope theyll get here before i leave on a business trip on the 21st.. thats all im worried about

 

I just got off the phone with Bud also. We're both engineers, so were nerding together He said it would be next week before he'd get mine shipped.
Thanks Andy!

The 86-89 belly pan is 1/8". However, it gets its strength from having more bends in it. It also uses the same crossmember as the T/C skid plate, but covers from the IFS skid plate all the way back behind the T/C I'll be adding about 60 lbs to the vehicle by replacing the stock skid plate and T/C crossmember, but will be protected very well.

 

Bud has xmembers for dual cases . The xmember will bolt to the stock xmember mounting holes. Call him for the package price.

HTH,
Theo

mines with 2 low pro drain plugs btw, dont kno if that matters or not

 

Yeah I just talked to Bud today, set up my order, he said the phones been ringing off the hook, and that he's acutally gotta take inventory to make sure he's not going to run out of stuff. He mentioned that hopes to have them on their way by next week, and since he's only 2hrs away from me, that should mean VERY SOON.

 

i'm in for a front skid with oil drain hole for an '02 4runner. 2 questions:

1. will there be any problems with a diff drop?
2. who do i send my $$$ and name/ address to?

 

1. no
