    That first reject looks pretty good.

    I'm wondering how hard would it be to get that reject, make a mold, pour metal into the mold, and have a metal skid plate made?

    I've got a front skid plate, but I wouldn't mind having one made out of metal. That way when I'm offroading I wouldn't have to worry about it.

    Just a thought.

    Peace.
    Tom

    Wouldn't give it to my best friend or sell it to my worst enemy. Just put it out there so all can see that I am still plugging away. I'm second generation Prussian and a Virgo to boot, need I say anymore. Am sure I will never produce anything that is acceptable to me, just hope that my VX family will be happy and patient.

    latest update

    Okay, am ready to supply rear skidplates for those of you that have a front only. Fronts are only a week or so away. I have posted a order letter under 'Parts and Accessories'. Hopefully Moncha will have a chance to review it soon so it will be accessible to everyone.

    I have no visualization skills. I need to see pics of these things on a VX, and I found lots of picks of the front skid, but I am not seeing pics of the side and rear skids installed. Can someone link such pics? Especially one with a high contrast such as the proton color.

    - Os I have decided that I shall be known as Os. But Jack is OK too.
