Oh I didn't notice this the other day.

 

Wouldn't you like to know!

JK Lloyd. Yes, Mobtown Offroad Skid Plates 2.0 are on order. I will throw some CAD pics up here for you guys to see. We expect to have them in stock in a couple weeks.

Now that we are running our Black November Sale we can't keep them on the shelves!

 

I know a guy that makes something to fix that

 

Well there's probably nothing too wrong with it. That's actually shit picture that doesn't show it. The hook got bent outward a few degrees. Still mostly facing rearward and it looks intact. I'd imagine it could still be used if needed. I just didn't realize I'd bent it this weekend.

 

Tis but a scratch

It's still usable but yeah, we noticed it when we were under there during lunch. Thought that was why your bumper was pushed up but looking back at the cv swap pic, it was already knocked up a little. Those two skid bolts used to be on the same plane though lol

x2!

 

DITTO.

 

If you need a tug, try to make it from the rear of the d-rings on your bumper. Those hooks are notorious for bending the frame rails a tad.



Not a huge deal, but will definitely make installing an aftermarket bumper a little more difficult.

Also did you guys locktite the LBJ bolts after the CV swap? It's recommended you do after you torque them to 50 ft lbs. If you want to go a step further you can mark them with a paint pen for visual inspections. LBJ failure on a first gen is no bueno.

Also happy birthday @JLink!

 

On a 1st gen??

 

Hmm, nope. Haha, just noticed that now that you said it.

 

Happy birthday @JLink

 

Mobtown's Full Reinforced Skid Package Version 2.0

3/16" Steel Skids
Cross Brace and Reinforcements are 1/4" Steel

Total Weight less HDWE is 186lbs

 

No first gen love. Need a fabricator on the east coast to make first gen things.

 

I want to, trust me. But I need donor trucks!

 

I need money, what you want me to make lol

 

I already have all my armor sadly by either making or reinforcing myself. But there are a couple newer first gens here that need some. Would love to see a beefier IFS skid. I had to take a sledge to mine to keep it from touching the front diff anymore, but mine doesn't line up to stock anymore either way since it mounts to a custom crossmember

 

I got that full belly already.




IFS and Tcase are skid row's designs, def could use some improving. I beefed up the tcase skid already, ifs needs some beef. Mid skid is my own design.

 

Looks decent. Some ideas perhaps..
Add reinforcement closer to the diff on IFS skid. Also make oil drain access hole underneath covered like you have for 3rd gens on slope of skid, but use flush bolts. I got hung up on my drain hole and it is a vit banged up. Make a version for no diff drop.
And make a t-case skid for exhaust reroute.

 

I just pulled the skids off my truck and figured out this is the best I can do with the space I have

 

What do you mean "no diff drop"? These are already tight to the bottom of the diff.
