RCI Off Road Spring 2021 - CLOSED

Good it's over! My wallet survived the temptation. At one point there was almost $2600 in the cart.

 

Now sure why the codes aren't working, and nothing I can do about it at this time. Unfortunately, RCI is closed right now, and I don't think I'll be able to reach anyone about it.

At this time I'm going to take the codes down. If RCI decided to extend this through Monday I'll report the codes at the time.

What? Damn it. I was debating last night on sliders...and a new skid with dif drop..shat the bed. It said open till 11:59 Sunday night as of 0600 this morn

 

I am guessing they had to send it to an outside contractor for powdercoat unless they do it in house. Hopefully you will get yours soon.

I am just gonna Raptor line mine myself. Got some used step bars too that I will Raptor line also. Unfortunately it has to be a little warmer outside for best results.

 

Yeah I thought about that too. I'm waiting for shipment on the DE skid for my cats as well.

 

Codes are back up, and this had been extended until Midnight on Monday 2/15.

springgb - 15% for $999 or less
springgb20% - 20$ fr $1000 or more

Codes good through Midnight 2/15

 

Codes are live again.

You had $2,600 in the cart so you don’t feel bad when you order half of it.

 

That's funny, but I can't do it brother. The temptation has passed. Man I wish I could have though, the whole truck would have been an RCI billboard after that. Will have to wait until next year.

Also I can't decide which way to go on the skids...aluminum or steel? I'm leaning steel cuz of how heavy the truck is but the weight

 

I’m going to order a RCI skid for sure, holding off on the Sliders (sadly)...My current skid is so damaged and will need bent with my new tires so it seems like a good time. Looks like diff drop hardware which I will need isnt an additional charge. Thanks for posting OP

 

Steel or aluminum?

 

Steel.

 

Well shit! I caved! Full skids ordered.

 

Damn it. Doesn’t help me from not caving..I may still cave.

 

Cave...cave...cave...I don’t Offroad so I really don’t need any protection. They just look so damn good! Haha!

 

I knew you’d come around.


Did you go steel or alum?

 

But your truck specifically says “off road” so you kinda have too! ....

 

Went with steel. The biggest reason I caved is because of the 38 gallon gas tank, it is so exposed it's scary, and many trips coming up. The deal was better combined with the skid package and now piece of mind. An like you mentioned, knock half of it out.

 

Feel like that steel weight is negligible..with my bed loaded and topper loaded what’s a steel addition weight worth of give a shit! I am going to decide on the sliders by 8pm tonight..I’ve ridden this fence so hard for so long. Time to shit or get off the pot

 

Thanks for posting this, I'm in for a skidplate too.

 

I still can't figure out which is stronger. The aluminum is thicker, lighter and more expensive.

Is Steel the better bang for the buck and stronger if weight isn't a concern? It seems to be.

I'd be looking at daily driving protection, gravel roads, light trails, no rock crawling.

 

According to @RollCage (post #146 in link below) steel is about 7.5% stronger.

Seems like everyone agrees steel gives much less friction when in use sliding.

 

Wowsers! That was waaaaaaay over my head, but I'll buy the reasoning.

My concern was always the steel is thinner. But if it's stronger, that wouldn't matter

When the time comes (probably not this go round), I'll opt for the blk powder coated Steel

Thanks for the link.

 

Everyone else gave in..don’t be strong willed with your wallet around us money shelling SOB’s!

 

I’m in FOCO too.

 

Skid and bed rack here they come!!

 

Canadian shipping isn't so friendly right now.

I'm hoping to time it at some point, when there is a sale and the USA/CAD border I'd actually open and safe for travel.

 

Welp...I ordered sliders. And a skid plate yesterday...So yeah. Next 20% off (of anything) please block me...

 

Anyone know if the transmission/transfer case will fit with the TRD PRO front skid plate?
