I'd be in for the bashplates. Is even give my vehicle as a test car but we ain't in same state. Goodluck scotty looking forward to seeing what comes out of it. Also have u got a plan for the sliders/ sidestep for.09 model with the brake lines running up the chassis?

RustyNav we will be doing sliders for every model except the new D40's with curtain airbags.My neighbour has an 09 D22 so I will make a set off that and make a jig to suit.

I have the factory standard tow bar sitting in the back shed Scotty - pretty keen to get rid of it - if you want to cut it up a bit and work it into a custom rear tow/step/protection bar - let me know.

Hey Scotty I was wondering if you have had a look at doing sliders for single cabs yet? If so what's the price set back?

 

[scottybobcat]

Alphabet we will do them for anything mate but will need to get my hands on one to measure up.
You will be looking around the $450 $500 mark mate.The same amount of work goes into them as the twin cab ones.

Has there been any ball park figures announced for the bash plates yet?

Cool thanks Scotty, I will have to see how my experiment with making my own ends up( not looking good) and planning a trip down....the postage would e a killer plus a good excuse for a road trip

Postage would be quite reasonable through e-go.com.
I used them to get a roof top tent down this week and it cost me $125 from Woolongong.
I also used them to send a set of original side steps to SA and it was $45.00.Coloundra frieght arnt to bad on price either.

Ok we are so much closer now guys.Hopefully I have the pipe bender tomorrow and should have our steel delivery tuesday so wednesday we will be making our first set of sliders.When they are done I will post some pics up for everyone to see.
Hopefully you guys will place some orders and we will get into full production to get everyone there sliders ASAP and also start on the rear bars and bash plates.
