Not yet my friend!

Just decided to sell the Taco today and will actively start looking. Got a Lefty, duals, 4.7s, dana 60s, ARBs, 39.5" IROKs and a "few" sets of skids and sliders for it already tho...

We'll see what turns up...

I'm guessing it will be Voodoo Blue if it happens, of course just a guess.....Good guess, huh? Are the free skids on the way?

jaxtoy, you must be psychotic! Er, um, I mean psychic!

VB is first choice, then SF yellow, then Black. But the taco is black and I think i need some color in my life! Oh right, the back of the taco is a bit colorful!

I wonder if VB and green work on an FJ???

Thanks for the interest guys and gals!

Shadow is right. I hate group buys. We did one, years ago and it was horrible. We did have our first ever sale last November. For the swift, it was a killer deal. It generated a bunch of sales which paid a bunch of bills in a strangely slow month.

We are working 6 days a week with 1.5 shifts/day to prepare for the demand that will hit the first few warm days when spring fever and tax refunds collide.

Then, it will be crazy busy until we leave for the Summit.

But, seriously, if you are planning to order a set of skids this spring, please try to do it as soon as you can. We try to keep at least 10 sets of bare steel and 10 sets of black powdercoated ones in stock at all times. However, spring time can see that # shipped in a few days. For example, last April's sales volume was 4.3x last January's sales volume.

We have sufficient stock and manpower to get these out but just thought you'd like to have a little insite into our little world, and how VERY rollercoater-ish it is.

SO, how about an extra bonus for the earlier birds?

We have a bunch of nice leather gloves with the FJCruiser logo on them and will send a pair with each set ordered, until supplies run out.

Thanks for listening to a guy who is preparing like an engineer but trying not to stress about it!

Bud
PS I'll see y'all at the Summit!

Hopefully in MY FJ...

Woohoo I just ordered my BudBuilts!!!

It was the gloves and a sticker that pushed me over. Oh yeah that and accidentally ruining my stock skid plates playing in the snow

Pesky snow hides all kinds of things that bite.........

Bud, did you forget to tell them about those great "T shirts" you sell along with those great skids you make? The gloves can't get anywhere close to the looks the shirts get. P.S. don't rat me out to Dale. thanks jorge
