I am looking to get an engine skidplate (only) and a pair of tie rods. Is EOE still in business? They have what I want, but the previous post left me with questions about them...
No hard feelings, I just want to get what i order. Any other options?
Thanks.

Other option is to order it directly from Skid Row.

Todd is still in business but has a more than full time job in addition to EOE. Apparently he also lost his EOE partner. So, things are moving a little slow around there as he's pretty stretched out. I would order direct from Skid Row until Todd gets things back together at EOE.

Skid Row

Oh yeah; SLR has tie rods too.

Thanx Chuck.
Glad to see the nightly "sweep" of posts...
I will see if Skid Row will sell the engine plate separately.
And are the SLR tie rod conn. as good as or better than the EOEs?

I just ordered my skids from Sid Row. There was a small wait for the engine skid of a week which was no big deal at all.

Now to scratch'em up laugh

Hell yea! I have learned the "light foot" works best, but skids are good insurance.
I am getting the new 2002 Camini front bumper, so all I need is the engine skid. The site only shows it paired with the front. I will get on the phone and find out. I can wait...
Get out there and try something "new" and let me know how it holds up. wink

The SLR tierod centerlinks have a smaller diameter in the center portion than the EOE ones do, which means they smack into your swaybar less often (which is nice.) The only downside is the metal seems to have no finish at all, so they corrode...fast.

the engine skid bolts to the middle skid. i'm sure there might be some way you can fabricate something to make it work alone but they are designed to work as a pair.
