    Well, after a long wait we got a 3rd Gen 4 runner in the shop.

    First step was to get the Bronco out of the way!

    And replace it with the right gen!

    About an hour later I have the scans on my computer

    We are going to start with an engine, transmission and transfer case shield. I also scanned the fuel tank for future plans of a fuel tank skid depending on how these sell.

    of course we will make sure our skids protect the cats like all of our products do.

    I have this rig for a few days. Is there anything else you all are dying to see made for these? This is the time to let me know!

    Will there be a CAT cover that doesn't replace the skids? I like keeping my rig original but would get a cover for the CAT.

    I did buy a cat clamp but haven't installed it yet. I couldn't find anything else for the third gen.

    Generally the goal is to have it work with the factory skids. We do focus on having our skids fit the best with our skid set, so the fit on the OEM skid may be sacrificed if it makes our set better.
