Rear Differential Skid for 07+ Tundra - CAD Drawings and Feeler

Updated: 5/2/18

I have been working with Doug @ Evil Manufacturing to design and develop a rear diff skid that will fit the 07 and up Tundras. He looked at a Tundra recently to see if this was feasible and his guys came up with a rough draft. He is going to get me a CAD drawing in the next few days and I will update this thread with that and any additional information that I get. Here are the specs so far:


Design Requirements
- Completely bolt on
- 3/16" or 1/4" steel depending on weight and strength expectations.
- Skid will be designed to be as tight as possible around diff. Probably hang no more than 1/8" from diff which includes the width of the 3/16" material.
- Texture powder coating included
- Cutout for the drain plug
- Axle attachment points on side of diff

Pricing will probably start around (TBD new design). Shipping will be an additional charge. I should have a new CAD drawing of the product in the next couple days with full specs and fitment. From there we will need at least 10 guys to commit for this to go into R&D and then production. He will require a deposit for each order to start the R&D but that won't be collected until it's go time.

Other Notes

1. Shipping areas ARE NOT restricted. He can ship anywhere but the cost is on you.
2. Group buy needs a minimum of 10 participants for R&D to start and is not capped.
5. R&D time is about a week and half and then about another week or so to ship once in production.

If you are interested in this:

Sign up by replying to this thread. There is no commitment to buying anything until after the CAD drawing has be provided. In order to move forward with a prototype there needs to be at least 10 commits with a deposit that will start R&D. This period will last for about a week and a half that will result in a finished product with specs, pics and install. Once this is complete then the product will go through production.

Also I am not responsible for anything related to the product, install, the purchase and dealings with Evil. I am just a man trying to get a quality skid made for us lol.

Probably a good idea.........in.

 

Count me in

 

Now you can take the parking curbs and the mall at full speed!

 

That's Ramon's quote, not Roman... As long as they make them nice and tight, I'm in. Don't want a big hunk of metal hanging low and hitting everything.

 

Good catch. Like there are other skid options out there lol. I'm hoping to have a CAD mock up soon

 

Damn they make SICK ass bumpers!!!

 

I may [or may not] have their rear bumper coming in next week

 

i may know someone with something that has something to do with it.

 

Dude, maybe I should just get you to hire me as your personal assistant. How do you even get to work when there are so many installation days?

 

Their bumpers are pretty sic!!!!!

 

hmm...

 

My buddy got the front and rears incoming.

 

who?!?!?!

 

You have soft hands.. That is a plus!! I don't sleep much over the weekends lol. I have learned that from raising a baby the last year lol

 

Disrupt.

 

Tell him to get on this GB

 

I'll tell him but he has his own Rig Builder guy. He might make his own.

 

count me in!

 

I'm pretty sure @GodlessPro @TRD15559 are in. Probably @GiantsFanDan too. Maybe @SIXSEVENONE and @Tundra4us too.

 

You're in!!

 

I'm in. Protect my pumpkin!

 

and @Filthy13 and @Cemented

 

Why would anybody commit to a product they know nothing about? We have almost no information on how this thing will look or perform.

But I'm subscribed for more details.

 

Yet you were 100% committing to one on the other feeler thread? The original post does state that I'm working on getting a CAD.

 

uh I was committed to a group buy with the understanding that I would have a chance to see details on the product before I laid out cash
