Valhalla’s Shield theft deterrent/skid plates info and ordering post

Oh yea, I remember this one alright.... you could have done a round trip 6 times during that time already.....lol

 

My plates and skid are here, wait times are long but the product is excellent and well worth the wait times...thanks Tyler

 

I had a busy weekend, I am going to get some food in me and start answering messages

 

@Classy63 Can I get a shipping update for order R100004940? I may have to give you a new shipping address.
Thank you!

 

This will be here later this week. I will be shipping it out ASAP

 

I did my first oil change with Tyler's skids on. Soooo much easier then with the crappy stock plate. Also, I've had my full set of plates, all 3, of 1/4 aluminum on since January. Everything has been great. For anyone debating getting them, do it.

 

Hey @Classy63 could I get an update on order R119618313 please. 3/16 Steel front and rear cat plates. TIA

 

Still waiting on hardware to ship the 2wd vertical plates? Thanks @Classy63

 

I'm so looking forward to this. Fighting the stock plate every 3 months gets old fast.

Now parked in methistan for the last time. Just gotta make it thru this evening.

 

So I messed up when I ordered and have two different numbers. R813434731 and R286803380
Thank you.

 

If the right amount of people canceled, I should have it this week

 

I started getting steel in and I got the bolts finally, so I shipped out some bare steel orders many have been waiting on. Tomorrow I am shipping hard again, I want to ship out all the vertical plates asap

 

Copy that. Still just the original 10 that were pre-orders? Just trying to get a project game plan laid out...wanting to install my train horns at the same time while I'm under there lol.

 

Thank you sir!

 

@Classy63, any chance some of that steel went into fabricating V3's for 4x4?

Tyler any updates on shipping my order?

 

I think I have it, if I do I will likely ship it tomorrow.

I have shipped all the vertical plates that were ordered for people who already have their plates.

 

Thank you! I got your email with shipping info! Whoo hoo!

 

Front and rear cat plates installed. No issues with my transferflow 46G gas tank. Engine skid plate coming soon

 

46G tank!!! How many miles can you get out of that? (roughly, i know driving style differs)

 

anywhere from 600-800 miles on a tank depending on how I’m driving.

 

Just checking in to see if a v3 4x4 rear plate can be ordered yet.

 

It's typically good for 300 miles with a camper.

Big payload hit though. It's an extra 320 lbs or so when full compared to the 26 gal tank.

 

Worth it it sounds!!

 

Last night dad asked me if the TF tank would work with the skid and I opened this thread to find a picture of the skid, and you had posted this 2 minutes prior. It was creepy haha

 

That's insane, here I am thinking the 38Gal OE is big, along comes the 46G....
But yea, I agree on the payload lose out, but when you tow, that extra mileage would help.....

@ayardic do you have a picture of the tank prior to the plate install or after if it is not covered? Trying to visualize how big it is, as it is gonna suck adding that much weight on the driver side, plus 31M battery (~80Lbs) and driver will def need to be weight reduction program.... (~200 lbs)

 

I'm having a hard time with the math on this one. Gas weighs 6 lbs. per gallon and an additional 20 gallons should weigh more like an additional 120 lbs. A full 46 gallon tank of fuel should be more like 276 lbs. total. What am I missing here?

 

my un-educated guess is the material of the tank itself plus hardware to keep it in place?
Your gas weight sounds about right, but I would figure it needs additional/stronger hardware to keep the tank from falling off? But 320 Lbs is a lot....

 

My thoughts as well.
