    Let’s get a few things straight-
    Any GB is purely out of the good will of said vendors heart.
    I’ve known Josh and Miranda for 3-4 years on a personal level. They’re the nicest people I’ve met, and I’ll always have their back, as they’ve had mine and others.

    They do very well for what they do. They just built a new building and are building their staff of 12+ amongst raising a sweet infant baby girl. They’ve barely have had time to breathe, let alone for themselves.

    They’ve run many successful GB’s on TW. There’s a lot that goes into it.

    I spoke with him today, expressing your concerns of many only wanting a front plate, gas skid, etc. He’s going to think on it. Hell, 20% off $500+ is a great deal as is. They’re very far from cocky and arrogant, but I’ll speak for him. If you want to place a standard order of just a skid, they’ll probably still discount you something out of their kindness - but sometimes fabricating these one piece skids, powdercoating, and shipping them for a big discount just isn’t always worth it.

    If this isn’t for you- then wait for it to be.

    Thanks for the update and I appreciate any discount RCI is kind enough to offer. I chose to spend my money with RCI already and have their full skid set on my truck. I’m just swapping out my gas tank to the 38gal tank and only need that skid.
    Either way I’ll be buying their 38gal tank skid.

    This is the first time I've seen some members gripe about terms of a group buy. A group buy not long before the annual holiday sale discount. A response was proferred but not good enough? You got to be kidding me. RCI are good people and was put on display at yesterday's 1st open house that was well attended. This group buy thing was started by us not RCI. We are not in a position to make demands. My 2cents.

    For what it's worth I saw a fresh batch of both sizes ready for powder coating yesterday. RCI has dropped some serious scratch on their manufacturing process. Nothing outsourced. I spent some time before I left yesterday talking with one of the machine operators. Definitely proud of his work. Actually everyone was allowed to peruse the manufacturing areas. Highly organized as it should be. Plenty of RCI employees and families on hand if not most of them. Was quite pleased and impressed.

    Hi everyone, thank you for all of the interest in our product and also to those of you who made it to our open house yesterday!

    I just wanted to clarify the Discount on this group buy for everyone. We will be doing a flat 15% off ANY tundra products manufactured by us. If you are just looking for an engine or fuel skid etc you will get 15% off. As an incentive for those who are looking for two or more items we are doing 20% off the order.

    Thanks guys!

    Awesome, thank you very much! I wish I could have made it to the open house yesterday but had other obligations to attend to.
    Please add me to the list for an engine skid plate, transfer case skid plate, and a 26-gal fuel tank skid plate all in steel. I would be able to pick them up as I live locally.

    The open house was great! My grandson had a good time and got to see how skids are made. Burgers were good too! Can't wait till next year's open house. Well done!

    That’s awesome! Thanks guys! Thumbs up for accommodating both opinions in here!

    Plus one on the how do we order!

    Also if y’all had to pick 2/3 plates, what would you choose? Obviously engine. But not sure which of the other two are more important. Dumb question I know but still figuring some other stuff with the truck

    I will get the full set: engine, transfer, and tank. I will eventually get all of them, anyway. A 20% discount is too good to let it pass.
    I have never bought with a group buy. Should we just go a head and call RCI to place the order?

    I would call them and tell them you’re on the Tundras.com GB and place the order.
