Kilby is in business - Who wants their skid plates?!

[VXorado]

I completely agree with Jo... in that I think these are overkill for the majority of VX's

Jo keeps breaking his VX and could probably use the kilby skidplates.

I have the kilbys and they are absolutely overkill... But you wouldn't want an offroad product that wasn't overkill. Right?

LOLOL Jon...

If the Kilby protected ring gears.....

.....even I'd buy it!

I hear the Trooper ones do fit well...except I haven't been able to find any and I've called all the salvage yards in the Front Range of Colorado. I installed the nice front skid plate that Mile High VX gave me...just center and rear is needed now. Anyone know of a solid source for the Trooper ones?

I put together this list of salvage yards in the US that had a VX, and another with a Rodeo. It's about 15 months old, so some won't be accurate I'm sure. But since Troopers are so plentiful in salvage yards, I bet these same yards will have a ton of them.
You may need to go to Post #4 for the link in an .xls format.

It lists the State and phone number for all of them so you could start calling about the Trooper plates. Not sure if the 800 numbers work from CA..anybody know?

I'm guessing they won't ship to Canada, but I can get them and ship to you, since I have some spare time on my hands.

If I am in Canada, I took a wrong turn coming home last night!

Thanks for the info Kat...I'll see what I can find.

Some Colorado peeps are doing Argentine Pass this Sunday...not a challenge for our VXs but a beautiful view at the top and a great drive up. If any other CO peeps want to join we are meeting at 9:30 am in the NW parking lot at the I-70 and Morrison exit.

I will be taking photos

Happy trails all!

They're on the list. Actually every time I've spoken with them about a part they're HIGHER, much higher than most others....I'll bet it's cuz I'm a girl...and they think I am clueless! well,....um...I appear to be clueless when it comes to Countries...

Does anyone have any current information on the Kirby skid-plates? I'm only now coming to the point where I'm looking to take my Vehicross to the next level...and all the information I'm finding is long out of date.

Kilby plates no longer made...you may get lucky and find a used one for sale.
Depending on the type of Off Roading you do..and how much lift you have , the three piece Trooper skid plate set is used by many...and bolts right on.
Getting harder to find...but better overall than the Kilby IMO.

( side note)...I saw you were look for Jon / VXorado...he no longer has a Vx...though he gets on the VX FB page now and then.
Swing by and use the search function there..pretty much everything possible has been asked and answered ...and if ya cant find it..shout out

Cheers

Hey Joe, your PMs are full and I hope you can read this:

Hey buddy, glad to see you are still active. I am desperately wanting to custom order that Rock Bumper. Is there any way in the world you could help me out? Also, would it accomodate a winch, ideally on the inside, but the outside would work as well.

Give me a text or call at (469) 955-1160, as I am way more active on the facebook group (I am JiveTurk).

Will eventually build something very close to yours with cool metallic paint, 3-6" lift, amazing suspension, and rhino lined side cladding. Also going to build the engine and super charge it with a 500hp goal, once I finish exterior, suspension, etc.


Thanks,

Doug

A lot of the group has moved over to Facebook. This forum was down for quite some time and they took that avenue to keep the group alive.
