New Skid Plates and T Sportline CTX Bumper Skid Plates Installed - Pics Posted!

[REM]

The limitation is the 400w, not the 48v. A 12,000lb winch draws 20x+ the power of 400w. The 48 / 400w aux circuit is never going run a winch....which is why we had to make our own CTX power system.

I understand the wattage limit of the front 48v power. Still would prefer to have 48v accessory power (to include batteries) though. I don't want to downgrade to 12V power systems.

48v is the future ?

Once I get the front bumper installed and check it out in person, likely to order the front skids and side steps to match while I wait on the bully and rear bumper. Would love some matching powder coated steel fender flares, not a fan of the carbon.

yes, planning a trip to offroad / mnt in north georgia, need the weather to warm a touch

Got to get aluminum for the front bumper. Add it all up for the bottom. Then slider skid plates. Then a carbon bumper. One can see why Tesla uses plastic. Aluminum....

Yikes?

Wow, not happy to hear that.
Dec. 8 you charge my credit card $5,779.99 for a listed Jan. delivery.
Couple days later you announce some tweaks were needed and end of Feb delivery. Ok...
Now you are at March 15... Over 3 months from billing me!

Yes, that was not ideal - we made the decision to delay the production to make a few design improvements, understanding that this would irritate some pre-order customers but the benefit of the improvements would ultimately be more enticing than the delay irritation. I am happy to call you and chat further if you like, but this product is really nice and I am confident our 'better' vs 'rushed' decision was worth it. We took a little delay from weather issues, but not sure where you are located - maybe warm enough for you not to matter, but some folks have been freezing to start 2025 ha ha. Apologies for the delay!

Hey Cybertruck gang,

had a chance to get photos of the frontal skid plates and underside of our CTX bumper - check it out:

Product details - HERE

All the black bumper panels are STEEL -- not plastic
All the light color skid plates are ALUMINUM

- Everything is bolt-on, no permanent modsm

Is there a gauge difference in these Rival "Skid plates" vs the OEM "Undertray - Front Aeroshield" (as Tesla refers to it in the service manual) that these replace? I noticed in an earlier chat you said the Tesla OEM skid was Nylon (which also matches the pic in their service manual for the undertray), but my FSCB already has an aluminum one. I suspect at some point this was updated for stock Cybertruck or maybe just the Cyberbeast variant. Looking to replace the control arm covers for sure as those are nylon on by FSCB and debating whether the RIval skid has any benefit now.
