HitTheTrails Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Contact runnerman and see if he has any (or will make more) R50 skid plates. I love mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWC5S2 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) I currently have nothing, the plastic one broke years ago Im considering the AC 3/16 skidplate would you guys recommend this or not worth it? ANy other suggestions? I got mine frm the folks that do the AC lift. They have taken some serious hits and have worked out great for me. I put the front, middle and rear on my 2003. You can buy a package deal or just single skids. The diff plate is not worth the trouble. Edited March 19, 2008 by RWC5S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keelhaul Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I have the ac skids as well and I am not worried about bottoming out anymore. I read a post somewhere how the center skid, if hit hard enough, will contact the the oil pan and damage it. I have thought about adding some sort of support to prevent that but have not yet done it. If piece of mind is what you want on mild trails then they are great. If your into rock crawling I would think they would get damaged pretty easy since they are just flat steel with no structural bends or folds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogy2003 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 yeah, AC has a 3/16 front skid plate to replace the splash guard, it's bolt on and it's a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxman0324 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Can't say I blame you...I gotta work on getting the lift and new tires before worrying too much about skids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Go to my for sale thread and look at the pictures of receipts and window sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Is runnerman based out of BC? When I bought mine he was in Manitoba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Just purchased my front, center and rear (t-case) skids today from Black Panther . He is out of Manitoba. Shipping was a bear but am told they are worth it. I think he said this was his last full set for the R50 but has several front skids still avail. I contacted him at blackpantherorders@shaw.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibi Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Aye I noticed afterwards he was from Manitoba, just hoped that since he had a shaw email and HitTheTrails is from Surrey that he was BC based. Wishful thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUELER Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah I got an email back from marcello, his skid plates are the same price as AC but unfortunately shipping would have been more for me (I am extremely far from him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibi Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah, my budget is somewhere between zero and I shouldn't have spent what I have, so unless I can find a good bargain then won't be getting them I'm just waiting for my suspension to go so buying a lift doesn't hurt as much. And on the good side someone hit my car while it was parked at work so I'm another step closer to justifying building a new bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitTheTrails Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah, shipping those heavy skids from Manitoba out to BC wasn't cheap, but the skids are definately worth it. They have held up well for me thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnerman Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hey Guys!!! How's everyone doing? I will be around I'm just getting things back to normal:) Never forgot you guys with the hidden winch mount for the bumper either..... And all my plates work with that system. Thanks, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Good to know you will be around, there's been some commotion when people thought you were gone...any chance of the full skid sets coming back or are you done with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
