    I too am envious of the lift. Want to add Barnes washers to my install, but don't want to wrestle with it. Maybe when service is needed. (Yes, I am a wimp.)

    Speaking of the Barnes washers, I am considering making another stab at getting better pricing for them

    For those using the Barnes washers, are you finishing/painting them? They're just 1018 steel.

    I painted mine, but they come well finished and there's not much for the paint to grab onto. Running through water might be fine, but grass and brush will scrub it off. Still worth the effort.

    I know those who have ordered aluminum have been worried that they will have to wait for their order since I haven’t put a new order in for it yet. Assuming the numbers are right coming from the cutter, with what little I have here, with the magic of people canceling, I think I am actually ok, except for one 3/16 aluminum lifted front cat plate. I can 100% confirm I will have enough aluminum front skid plates to cover all orders. I am “supposed” to go pick up the aluminum order tomorrow, but it will probably be Saturday… I will sift through the plates and get the plates going to powder coat there, he only has a few plates left to do from the steel.

    The next batch of steel that I over ordered on purpose, is supposed to be done next week. For the most part, I will be completely caught up with extras. Once I grind through all of this and get it out. I will been completely caught up expect a few odd balls.

    My hellish backlog is finally going to come to an end

    Alot of them
    Pull up the prices of the replacement cats and pipes on any of the Toyota parts sites and when she sees that parts are 6 to 7K, she will be good.

    And add on top of that the time the truck will be out of commission as well as the decreased value due to Carfax showing up .

    Carfax?? This crap gets reported to Carfax?? It's no different than me swapping out the exhaust. It's not an accident.

    I don't think it will say "missing cats" but that it was in the dealer for repair or something.
    I know most people don't care too much, but some might be, and will hunt down every reason to cut down on your asking price when they see something questionable.
    But yea, 3-6 months lead time and not knowing what might happen by then is another reason to get them plates.
    I have heard some insurance will total it after the 2nd set stolen, because of the overall lead time and cost/rental and all that....

    Not really, I mean, parts and labor is one thing, but the lead time is the main thing killing it. Imagine if you have rental clause on your insurance, and they provide a new rental every two weeks (or whatever the clause is) for 3-6 months? They rather cut the loss and total it. Now, I have heard some will buy it back and straight-pipe it, but you will never catch me in one, just saying.....lol
    Tyler has been super awesome and helpful, so I am waiting on that last piece of the back plate fender(?) then I am good. Plus, I have FBI next door and county police sheriff three houses down that has a cruiser sitting there at all times.....
