    Hey now, don't put words in my mouth.

    But yes, Kase is coming into town this weekend so we can try and figure out a solution for the single cab skid.

    On another note I have solved the issue with the low hanging strap on the drivers side. I had originally wanted to re-use the excess strap material that you'll be trimming from the cam buckle straps, but the material is too thick for the application. So I will be providing a thinner 2" webbing for this specific attachment point only. Take a look and let me know what you think.

    Update:

    The straps and hardware are a little slower arriving than I thought. They'll arrive next Tuesday the 31st. I'll be putting all of the skids packages together Wednesday and should have them shipped out the day after. Be looking for an invoice for the final payment.

    I have the updated cut file for the DCLB and will be cutting one today. GZeus24 is bringing his DCLB to the shop tomorrow for final fitment verification.

    Thanks for coming by Gary.

    The DCLB skids are finalized, and ready to be cut.

    Yeah, I'd say an hour is a good estimate. It will take more time to get the tools out and put away than the install will take.

    Then you're ahead of the game. You'll need the following.

    - floor jack
    - spreader to hold the tank
    - 14mm socket for tank straps
    - short 22mm socket for cross member bolts
    - 22mm wrench or crescent wrench
    - heavy duty scissors
    - lighter
    - pliers

    not sure if i have spreader. But i am guessing a jack and thick block of wood would work.
