Has anyone had a chance to test the final production units out on the trail yet?

Not to be an ass here, but it's higher, tighter, stronger and more coverage than the venerable Rockstomper... The prototype units showed more than enough to know the basic design was sound, just needed enhancement. I stand by my work, unless you drop your rig off a cliff, this is the last skid you will ever need to buy.

I understand the time and effort that has gone into these, and I wasn't discounting the strength of the plates, but it might have come across that way. I'm sorry, but I was just wondering if anyone has had a chance to hit the trails with it yet. That's all!

Chris

P.S. No offense taken!

I talked to Bill, he's 90% done. He under bid the job as well, everyone see a trend.

Anyway they will be ready Monday end of day.

I then drill the rear holes and clean them up a bit and off they go.

Everyone needs to pay ASAP. I can't get them back from the welder until you do.

There will NEVER be anyomore of these, everyone got so screwed, if you want one, this is time. You need to act now.

Well, not exactly, but it sure would be nice to quit coming out of pocket. I'll take care of welder boy.
