Okay guys. I emailed Eric yesterday and below is the response I got back.


"Hi Clayton,
I apologize for not getting back to you. We've simply been extremely busy and didn't make our decision. However, we have discussed it now and need to make some arrangements. We are planning to work with your club, but not directly. So please give us a couple more days to get things arranged.....Bug me again if you don't hear back from me.

Thanks!"

I think its time to get serious about buying. Hopefully I will know the full details in the next couple of days. Email me at charvey@cox-internet.com if you are definitely in so I can start a list. Not sure how many we will need but keep the interest coming. I will post again when I have more info.

Default Count me in-do my own oil changes

Count me in also on a front plate.I do my own oil changes,and removing and replacing the dinky sheetmetal adds 25 minutes to the job.Won't hurt to have something a bit more substantial under our pricy motors.Charlie PS Do we mastercard,MO Paypal or what?I am game however we do it.

Heres the latest scoop for those wondering. I posted the follow up email from Eric a couple of posts down. I believe what is going on is that he is setting us up with one of his distributors to buy from them, instead of directly from Skid Row. This way it keeps his distributors happy because he isn't cutting us a deal directly. This was his main concern from the get go. As far as payment goes, nothing is definite yet. When the price is set and the arrangements are made everything will be posted here. Stay tuned.

If anyone is interested there is a 6 month old front skidplate on ebay with only an hour or so left. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ADME:X:ON:CA:2

I was interested but the shipping to Canada is $$$$

Emailed Eric at Skid Row the other day and he has been swamped. He said that he hasn't been able to do what he wanted to yet but give him the next couple of days to get everything worked out. He was going to be out of town this weekend but if I didn't hear from him by Wednesday to give him a call. Hang in there guys, I am trying.

Default The Group Buy is Set!!!!

Ok guys, I got word from Eric at Skid Row yesterday and the group buy is a Go ahead. Now if I can get a moderator to "approve" it we can go ahead with everything.

The terms of the group buy are as follows:

We are being given a 10% discount on all skidplate purchases. This includes all Toyota products they make which are full skidplates for the Tundra and Tacoma. Yes, if there are Tacoma guys out there tell them because they are included in this.

We must have at least 20 orders placed to get the discount. If you order all three skidplates for the Tundra or Tacoma, that would count as 3 orders.

From the time the group buy is approved, we will have two weeks to place orders. You may either call in your order or use their checkout system on the website. In the make and model area or comment area of the online purchase form, you must specify : Toyota Group Buy.

If you guys have any questions shoot me PM or email or Post them here.

If you want a skidplate or are thinking about a skidplate this IS THE TIME TO BUY. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GROUP BUY AVAILABLE FOR TOYOTA SKIDPLATES. Eric will do no more after this one so jump on the bandwagon today.

Question How much for shipping ?

Hey Clay,

Thanks for getting this g/b going. Is shipping included in the price or are we paying $135.00 plus shipping ? What if we don't get 20 buyers ? TIA JB

The price would be $135.00 plus shipping. Like I said though, this will be the last group buy done on these skidplates. Eric wants to protect his dealers and not cause any problems with discounting his merchandise, so after this thats it. If any of you have been wanting one of these or think you may, the time to act is now. The discount is by no means huge, but is definitely better than full price.
