For the record, if you make more skids, I am not willing to make more middle supports. I want it all on the table, 100% Mike labor.

Think about it, you make something for people. Something that people really want and seem to think that they really need.
You do it is a back time job, in addition to real life.
Then people tell you that you are a liar and are disappointed in something that you worked hard to get done. I would be pissed too.
When people give me static like that, I tell that if they want me to do it, let me do it and it will be great. If they would rather piss and moan about how I am doing it, then they ought to have done it themselves.
It appears to be identical to Steve's. I have seen that work, in person, quite a few times. It seems that Arizona has the hotbed for test stuff and it passed. If there is a better game in town, go play, eh?

What the hell? This ain't the bash on Schaeffer thread. He and I may not agree on some things, but the guy was a great amount of help on the skids. Cripes, the guy wheels the whee out of his rig, has thrown away more money on mods than most of us have modded and again, he drinks good beer.
If I didn't say it clear enough before in this thread, thanks STEVE for all your constructive help and grunt work to make this happen.
Beers and BBQ in a couple of weeks bud.
Adrian, if you're coming down to ASU, we'll show you how the old guys party. Prepare for
! lol!

Hey Mike,
If there is a 4th gen in your area, will you work on smack pads for it?
I could throw out a new thread for a volunteer...

" 4th Gens. I had a guy here in Phoenix that was interested in being a test mule / fit-up rig, but we've lost touch and I can't find his contact info anymore. "
I have the measurement notes here somewhere, I think. We can talk offline if you prefer, email me.

I don't think any of this was directed towards my responses, but I just like getting Steve worked up, but I didn't succeed like the other night when he was drunk. That was fun!

Jeez, FedEx is throwing a conniption fit over my shipments... I had to go down to the shipping facility last night and install shipping corners because the driver considered them to be "hazardous". Yeah, right, I think he just didn't want to pick up nine pcs. of heavy American made steel and put them on the truck. lol. Crimeny, it wasn't like I was shipping nuclear waste or anything. 
Anyhow, they are all on the road for delivery.
12 full sheets of 11 ga. rolled into the shop this morning, I was there when they were unloading it. More coming!
Thanks again guys for the support and criticisms when needed, I certainly appreciate the Toyota community, you all are a great bunch to deal with!

As soon as the U.S. Mail arrives on Monday, I will order the Daystar bump stops from Xtreeme, they should be here in a day or two after that and hopefully you guys will have the supports by Friday.
I have orders from 6 people and I am waiting for a check from a 7th. Monday is the final order day, so if you miss it, I have no other choice but to send your check/paypal back after 12:00 noon Monday. That is the date/time the window closes for good.
Has anyone received the skid plate yet from FedEx ???
