XPOTRPR build & BS

You crazy, foo

 

I've been fine this whole time with stock skids. Aluminum will be plenty for me.

 

I bowed my rear 2 skids on the rubicon.. 3/16" steel, what was flat is now banana shaped

 

D:

 

He gets that aluminum hanging down there and he'll really tear some shit up

 

If you've been fine with stock skids this whole time you aren't wheeling hard enough

 

If I was him I'd get BAMF's 1/4" skids honestly. Those are the only skid plates that will actually hold up to hard abuse

 

@Mobtown Offroad makes aluminum skids.

I just can't see the extra money for something more prone to destruction.

When i need to use the skids, i want there to be less of a chance that i'll have to unbolt them and hammer them back out lol

 

True but that weight affects 1/4 mile times and in my case possibly spring rate on the front end lol

I have been debating steel or aluminum for a little while now... I have gouges in my tranny pan

 

I'm pretty much done doing race truck things. Just don't enjoy beating it like a ferrari anymore.

I need a drift missile for that.

But for now, this gets me by:

 

With age comes a cage lol

My knees are bad enough I had to give up the street bikes so I can't imagine a dirt bike. Still ride a cruiser though... And race truck things... seen my truck? lmao

Edit: Aren't you local to me? lol I think we have met lol

 

We have not.

I've seen this slime green slider prerunner all over the forum and a little bit on instagram.

I'm in Maryland and have never been west of Montana lol

I'll be on a motorcycle as long as i'm able bodied. It may not be a heavy street and trail that beats me to death. But it'll be two wheels. I'm hooked.

 

no.. it means I just dont bash into shit.. and know how to wheel.

Case in Point - Cody used all his skid plates, and hit his front bumper on the same trail. Sorry @StOrMyThEtAcO

sweet.. I get to use this again..




You guys all stick to your Steel armor.. if it works for you, cool.

I like how my truck performs still (sand drags especially ), hence why I havent gone with bumpers or anything with substantial weight yet. Now, once the truck gets paid off and becomes the toy (checked yesterday and its getting closer ) then all that goes out the window ..

 

Lol it's cool! I'll take it. Was my second time out and it was a substantially more difficult than the first time through.
Yeahh I hit my bumper an skids but I would go do it all over again. I can only get better at picking lines a such!

 

for sure! I thought you did pretty damn good man.

 

I was happy with myself! There were definitely a few time I'm glad Jason ran back an spotted though for sure

 

Yeah those areas we missed the first go around were fun.

 

Energy universal bushings (radiator supports) showed up. Waiting for the body mounts now.

 

What's wrong with a little armor?
