    OK thanks. I started to put the oem skid plate brackets on and it looks like it might not work or needs some mods. The sway bar looks like it will rub on the skid plate brackets? Alignment tomorrow, it's been a job putting it all on but worth it.

    Use a few washers as spacers on the brackets so the sway bar clears.

    I'll try that this weekend. It would be great to get that skid plate back on to close off the fan from picking up road debris.

    Well here is is, it's been a long wait and a lot of labor but totally worth it. Drives like a dream no vibes or weird steering, and a kick ass turning radius. [​IMG]

    [​IMG]Got the skid plate back on with the brackets shimmed with 3 washers. had to trim the rear of it with tin snips and add a bolt to the drivers side rear because the old one was above the front crossmember.

    Working by myself, about 20hrs. It was a challenge lining up the front differential mounts to the crossmember. And it's all just time consuming work. The tires are 285/70/17 or 33"x 11.50"

    Looks good! The wheel width and offset is perfect for the width of those tires. Very clean.

    I'll have to try to get my skid plate to fit like you did. Had a few close calls with branches and really want to get it on there.

    Nothing wrong with that. It's your truck. It looks good.

    I've got one, I'd recommend getting a skid plate that goes from the bumper down to somewhere on the cross member otherwise it looks kind of goofy.

    Say man, could you post a few close ups of the bumper and skid plate. I have one from my old taco, but idk if I need to customize it any.

    You need to fix the tire size. The guy says and the tires say 305/70/17 but your little pop up screen that oomes up on the video shows a 305/75/17..Just letting you know
