    I strongly doubt it. He takes specs from the manufacturer's sites and 3D prints them accordingly. For example, my Turbo would not fit in the Turbo 2 version because mine has a curved back, and the Turbo 2 has a flat back.

    In fact, he will also account for any case you may have on your phone.

    Well it mostly works I'm gonna massage the v cut a little more so that the exhaust isn't resting on the skid. Also not sure how concerned I should be with how close the exhaust is to the plastic on the t-case

    at a minimum, I'd wrap some of that exhaust shield stuff with the foil surface around that plastic module on the transfer case. those pipes can get HOT when you're going slow under heavy load, like climbing a dirt grade in low gear. ditto that shifter? cable above the transverse pipe...

    Agreed. The version of this mod I like most has the straight pipe coming back farther toward the rear, then bending horizontal 90 well behind the transfer actuator, also keeping decent access to fill and drain plugs. Look into the heat shield options. That gap is pretty dam damn small. You may need to consider heat tape.

    You'll be able to bake biscuits on that skid on a hot day going slow.

    No, I'll not be posting that horror again. This is supposed to be a family show.

    A few things
    Don't worry, your icons will break long before you need those skid plates.

    What did you get? I malled too hard and need some too. I wanted aluminum, but that's frowned up too. :anonymous:
