Rear Differential Skid for 07+ Tundra - CAD Drawings and Feeler

Yeah won't commit to anything without details. It would have to be done correctly to make it worthwhile. I have been wheeling the truck for 8 years without a diff skid so its not a mandatory item.

Don't mind being "that Guy"

 

And that is the same here, I'm not asking for anyones cash now. I'm working on getting more details and specs

 

I'm in.

 

Also, the RCI skid has pictures of the design on other vehicle so we pretty much know how it would be designed for the tundra. That is totally different than this one

 

Well you get us some good details and then I might commit

 

So then I'll just post up a pic of a Taco skid and then that should be good for you lol.

 

Yep they do.. other vehicles with different fitment. Then you get yours and it doesn't fit.

 

You know what I'm talking about.

 

What is the weight? 1/4 steel is gonna be heavy and god knows I don't need anymore weight added. trying to reduce as much as possible.

 

In! -contingent on design and CAD drawing....

 

I’m definitely interested but will wait for more details before committing.

 

Yeah that was one of my original concerns. He is willing to do this in 3/16" steel which would put it around 15lbs. He prefers to do production in one size so he's not cutting from multiple sheets.

 

May not have a big need for a rear diff skid, but will definitely consider this!

 

Excited but I'll wait for details... fitment, weight....

 

OP updated with weight, fitment, shipping, R&D time

 

Lookin' good!

 

Just got off the phone and this is the plan:

- I should have a CAD drawing with complete specs and fitment by Monday
- Once we have the CAD drawing then you can decide whether you want to opt in or out. This is our time to fully review the CAD and ask more questions and request updates.
- If we want to push forward then I will need 10 total commits with the deposit which will start the R&D time.
- Once R&D is complete they will have a tangible product with pictures complete and installed
- Once the final numbers are in for the first batch he will start production and shipping to be about a week after that.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to post and ask. Nobody is holding you to anything at this point so lets make sure we get a quality product.

 

haha

 

thats cheating.

 

I'm in. I'd prefer the 1/4" thickness but I the 3/16" is probably good enough for most other people.

 

This might be useful to the fabricator for ideas; here's the diff skid I ran on my FJ Cruiser:

i had one of those too

 

Yeah I think it will end up being 3/16".

That is pretty BA!! I'll forward this along.

 

So... a men's sports cup for our Tundras.

 

@boardude thanks for getting the ball rolling.

I like their bumpers too and the 3rd Brake Light. They are local to me too.

 

haha I like that. We should call them Cups instead lol
