S10 South Africa rollbar / skid plate

[dcstrom]

The skid plate comes off with 6 bolts for oil changes. Haven't done it yet myself.

EricV - did you see my pm?

Umm yes. O Will respond tomorrow. I'm fine with it all, just need to compose a reply. Spent most of today working on a sink disposal issue. Grrr.

Got my bars today. Took about an hour to install them. The fit and finish is first rate! I am very pleased with these bars. Thanks again Eric for putting this deal together. I will try and post some pics soon. ::008::

Did my first oil change with the Rumbux bars in place yesterday. A 13mm combo wrench and 5mm allen socket worked well to remove the 6 bolts that hold the skid plate on. The two drain plugs are still easy to access, but the crash bar is there, so you have to reach under it, then up to get your fingers on the drain plugs. No big deal, just slightly awkward with the side stand down too, on the rear one. No issues with anything and didn't add any significant time to the oil change. Easy on and off w/o any fuss.

I did notice that you don't have access for a socket wrench on the nuts, as there is not enough clearance between the exhaust pipes and the skid plate to fit the wrench in there. The front upper ones can be done with a rachet/socket, not the front lower on the right, and not the rear. In the rear, you can easily use the box end of the combo wrench, but in front the bars are close enough to the nuts that the open end works better.

Is there going to be another order, or are these avaiable "regularly" in the US now?

I am going to import more. I got hung up on setting up my business and with the bank so I can accept Visa/MC/Amex. I hope to get that finished ASAP and announce another order in the Vendor section. I will post here as well, pointing people to the other thread. My apologies to those waiting on this to happen. I'm trying to make it as easy a process for those that order, and with all costs wrapped into one price up front, so you know exactly what you will pay to get the bars to your door. I hope this price will be comparable to ordering similar quality skid plate and bars separately.

I would love to stock these, but as a shoestring start up business, I just can't lay out the funds and take the risk that each order will sell in a timely manner. If things take off, I will start stocking them.

Hi Eric,
So what's needed up front to get one money wise? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Norm

Sorry for the delays. Just got set up with merchant services so I can take credit cards over the phone. I'm heading out tomorrow for business over the weekend though, so will post up on Monday with details of the next order for Rumbux bars & light brackets.
