NOW AVAILABLE
Gas tank skidplate for 3rd gen 4runners

After years of cringing every time I hear my stock skid drag on rocks, I decided it was time for some serious protection. I was going to just build one for myself but wanted to make them available to all 3rd gen owners.

It takes a lot to start a business. Bank accounts, registering a business name, setting up PayPal and getting a retail license. Everything is now in place and I'm ready to take orders.

 

looks like a killer product

 

I still have to make some stickers.

 

how much with shipping to 08085

 

When will the first batch be done?

 

Shipping and Handling is $75

In the next week or two.

 

Received my skid plate. Will install this weekend.

 

Going to pick mine up this weekend, hopefully will get it painted and installed. And Gerdo when you get the stickers made send me one.

 

Just drill out the welds on the emissions bracket. You will know what I am talking about when you get to it.

 

Bump

I have a new batch of skids that will be available in a few weeks.
I will have 7 available.

 

Does this skid help with the drive shaft interference issues some experience when running lifts/longer rear shocks? Also, what's the weight?

Looks great, very nice work!

 

It sits ~1/16" away from the gas tank. It also steps in further forward than the stock skid. The stock mount by the flange is straight in line with the flange. Ours is angles to the rear so there isn't contact from the flange and my mount. There have been a couple of improvements made to increase clearance on my latest batch. The only way to gain driveshaft/u-joint clearance would be to have no protection next to the tank.

It weighs 44lbs.

 

My latest batch of 10.


I just shipped 3 to California and one to Oklahoma.
I have 6 that can be shipped within days of ordering.

 

Bump.

 

Nice work! I have been looking for a skidplate(front) do you make these as well? I have looked all over but can't find one without the bull guard and the only companies selling them are very expensive.
