[QUOTE="Alford78, post: 1376725, member: 28387"] Yea me too for real. Bet they will save more weight than the exhaust. I can’t find a listed weight of the OEM sliders but someone said he guessed they weighed over 300lbs. I’ll help with a startup development project just like I’m doing with the exhaust if anyone else would be interested in helping me fund the start up I would appreciate that too lol. Just PM me if anyone knows a good company or person that could be willing to produce these or if want to offer helping finance the development. I just want to get as much weight off as possible. The carbon fenders, sides, and hood will help a little but nothing compared to what is possible with these larger steel parts. Wheel manufacturing has made leaps and bounds over the past 5-10 years as far as being able to get a really light set for reasonable pricing without going with carbon. Skid plates in Ti would be a very simple R&D process too but could also run into some issues of it being too strong and move something on a hard hit or break something on a hard hit instead of just taking the abuse itself. That’s something for someone more knowledgeable with these truck parts than me. But if any of the sections would be suited for a Ti plate that would provide a good weight drop then I’d be in for sure. The jigs are already made for these skid plates so the R&D is complete. We would basically only have to pay for the markup and shipping. I guess some tooling too would be needed to be paid for as well since it would be different than the steel tooling most likely.
