skid pics





back part, also showing tcase skid waaayyy better then the factory piece of a piece of a skid








underside a littel dirty

 

Very Nice!! Thanks!!

 

Lmk what else you need, its off so I can measure it. I might pull off the tcase skid incase you'll make one too. Btw after removing it I bounced it up and down and measureing it went up about 1/4 in (its a bit heavy....)

 

I dig your rig! I really Like the looks of your 1st gen compared to the rest Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks man I appreciate that

 

1st Gen DCab for the win!

 

Nice truck man. A couple questions about your skids. How did you attach your t-case skid to the frame? And what thickness metal did you use for both skids? I'm getting ready to build myself a full set and I'm just trying to gather as many ideas as I can before I start mocking them up and gathering supplies.

 

Thanks man
It has 6 bolt holes, front two plus two on each side
(I'm only running 1-reason > I see it as a trail rig not a crawler)
Its from 3/16
I can take pictures of it for you, on how it mounts. I could remove it and post pictures on then ?

 

You don't have take it off but some more pics of it installed would be awesome.

 

No problem man lol ill get some up tomorrow

 

Took a couple pics for you, but they came out pretty ugly lol
Ill get some better ones with my camera tomorrow


You can see how the front mounts (see the bolt with the round head) the side of the skid bends up and has two holes, two holes through the frame then bolt through it.

 

Oh ok awesome. I understand now. I'm probably going to mount it basically the same but weld square tubing to the rear of the skid that will bolt to the frame rails, kind of like a rear crossmember.

 

Nice pics!

 

Kool let me know if I can be of any help, I dont mind pulling it off to show you better pictures (it could use some touching up before rust gets to it)

nice sig

 

Ok. I appreciate it man. I'll definitely let you know if I need anymore pics.
