4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
Here are the latest photos of our front motor skid plate. We now will have three plates available, seperate or as a kit. Obviously the picture is of an unfinished plate. The finished plates will be powdercoated in hammertone gray. I should have a kit price up on the web tonight or tomorrow.
After the first batch comes in, possibly. I am still trying to figure out what and how much it will take to do custom colors. Because we powder coat everything together we cannot do two colors at once in the powder oven.
Real question is, "Can we take them off and sleep on them?"
Yes you can, but I suggest laying down a blanket because they will more than likely be uncomfortable. You may also remove them, weld them together and use them as a sled for the snow. You can also attatch wheels to the bottom to make a large skateboard and so forth.
Well after k9crazy did it, and since I have black I am thinking about going All-Pro Coilovers, Spray painting my sliders red, and powdercoating skids red what ya'll think?
EDIT: OH OH OH and black powder coated rims with red beadlocks...

Haven't heard from you for a while Steve-O. Thanks for posting the pics. Can you rush my order. I pre-ordered early in October by phone and haven't heard a word since. I was wondering if you can ship them without powdercoat for a little less money. I think I'd rather rattle-can the paint on since it's only going to get scraped off in the long run.
Also I was asking about the sliders too. I need the entire armor deal.
PM me if you have any information you can shared on a delivery date. Thanks

Call me when you get a chance, I'll go over the order. We can do no coating, and save you a few bucks, but not until the next run of plates are made. Most of the plates are already coated, and are schedualed to arrive here on Monday.

I would powdercoat the sliders and spray paint the skids personally, but other than that it sounds cool. I dont know if we have any red at the moment, but after I get the initial order going through I will be more than happy to work with people closer to get exactly what they are looking for.
Of course we all have to realize that custom orders will take a little extra time and may cost more depending on what wants to be done.
