(Just finished registering with YT and multiple user names, 62 to be exact.) I'm sure you'll be getting a barrage of messages!

Just kidding, thanks for even offering to make something for the 4th Gen. I'm pretty sure the 4th Gen owners on this board and as well others understand theres more of us than there are of you. I appreciate you giving us the time.

Thanks Jason,

Doug M.

 

Does this mean that the truck looses an inch of ground clearance with the subframe arrangement?

 

I'm in too, if the price is right. Let me know.

Yes.

Now as for all of ya that are interested in the subframe skids. I feel that if you do ALOT of rock crawling and I mean ALOT, then I think this is a good investment. But for the average weekend warrior offroader, the simple skidplate design that has been on all aftermarket skids should be fine. The only reason why I state this is because I've beaten my truck on some "interesting" trails and my skids have held up incredibly well. I feel that these skids should last me easily a few years of the same abuse. I figure after a few years it'll start getting deformed at which the upgrade or replacement would be necessary.

Just food for thought as the subframe will decrease your height on the bottom.

 

I have not made one for the late model 4runner but The one I built for the Tacoma and early 4runners I did not loose any clearence infact It might have even saved some. But I would need to look at the 4runner to get a better idea.

 

i'll take whatever you make.

 

Awesome news. Can't wait for confirmation on the 4th Gens! :bounce2:

 

Careful I might just weld some pvc together and call it a day..

 

As long as the PVC you use is approved by NASA, we're laughin'!

 

I'm okay with the regular skids...

 

Jason,

I'd would like a skid for my new 94 Landcruiser which will be my trail rig. Suprisingly(sp) it has no skid plate.

 

Lance/Jason,

Any news on the skid plates? No rush, just curious.

 

just checking in here too, no rush, just curious.

(plus, timber and i happen to be on the same path here at yotatech today)

 

Jason's been pretty swamped with some major projects so it's gonna take some time. Hopefully we'll be able to tackle this soon for ya'll!!!

 

Really, there's absolutely no rush, I think we were just checking back in to a dead thread, making sure the idea hadn't died with it.

 

Biff, your LC is a live axle vehicle, it is harder to mount and much less necessary to have a skid on the front of SA trucks. As the suspension compresses the differential moves up and out of the way in most situations. Also to the best of my knowledge your LC has an I6 not a V6 as stated in your sig. FWIW...

Did not know that, thanks for the info Sean.

 

What's the status of Jason's skid? Seemed to be the sturdiest design.

 

4run4fun:

Jason currently doesn't have a working design. The only design that is out is either the Mike's or Downey's design. Both of which are not currently for sale. Everything is still pending.

When a skid plate is ready for sale, it will be in the Vendor Section.

Thanks!

 

Me too I'd like to get that also.......
