In the Midwest (road salt,) raw aluminum will oxidize and start to look gross. It oxidizes elsewhere, but it doesn't get broken down and pitted as bad as it seems to here.
Got it! No salts up this way luckily.
I ended up OEM mainly because I got the Landcruiser skid at such a good price. Had been looking at Victory since I bought the truck, but they couldn't do one in raw aluminum which is what I wanted if I went with an aluminum skid. I did look at Greenlane being that I'm right across the border! They look really nice. Glad you're enjoying them.
Those look awesome. They weren't even on my radar!
This is how I did it. I went with both skids and the trailhunter sliders or whatever they're called, plus a set of the rear tow hooks. Sort of wish I went with a set of beefier steel sliders but oh well. I think it was $1300 with free local pickup at dealer. Great deal when those codes stack.
Have you ended up finding the transfer case skid useful ? Or just a peace of mind purchase ?
Heyaaaah looks awesome ! I am amped.Great prices! I got my skid for $310 and crossmember for $65. I like the oem look as well.
Looked like a pretty sweet setup though.Nah, I did not. Same boat, realistically, I donāt think Iād need it. If it becomes a serious trail rig then Iād prob would, but thatās not in the budget. I got the OEM red hoops instead of the trans-skid lol.Heyaaaah looks awesome ! I am amped.
Did you do the transfer case skid ? I really wanted to just because I was getting such a discount, but realistically wasn't sure if ever use it. Trying to control myself
The way they cut these two mount holes makes it a one person job to mount and dismount the shield. You remove the other bolts and only slightly loosen these two. It then twists off.
