The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

Sounds like a plan.

 

Aren't the skids dependent of eachother? Are you driving around with floppy skids?

 

Eh...

 

The power of zip ties

 

Gorilla glue

 

The tape kinda helped warrens sidewall cut

 

Separate meet?

 

Just to help, I did Jambo in just bigger tires. No lift, and I went down some damn good trails, I scrapped skids some, but nothing too bad.

 

Yea I'm not looking to tear up anything but I'm really a believer in determining what I need once I try it out, so leaving the rig stock will allow me to see where I want to go with it. Sliders were needed, because I didn't have running boards, needed roof access, and might as well add some protection against door dings anyways, so that was a no brainer.

Besides, the bumpers are eventually going to be replaced, so I'd rather protect my sides more.

Anything you wanna get rid of before you sell the truck..

 

If I get any bites for the whole truck, no. I will sit on it for a month or 2 then part it out if I still have it.

 

Info needed.. how many of y'all have done the pinch weld mod? I've looked into it and seen different methods which one is the best? Cut it and fold each cut the opposite way or just hammer it and call it a day? Also spray it with some rubberized product to keep water from going into cab or use a different product?

 

I would say hammer it down. If you cut it, you run the risk of it leaking, right?
Unless you weld it back up, after you cut it.

 

Same. I like my body panels the way they are, currently.
My bumpers are cool, too.

 

Cut mine about every inch and half from top to bottom then took a BFH and folded them over and flattened them down

 

What you use for coating?

 

black spray paint, i wouldnt coat it with anything right away until after you flex and see where you still rub. I had to go back 3 or 4 times and bang on it some more before i finally got it all flat like it should be. Ive been meaning to coat it with something but im lazy and dont care

 

I for sure need to do it before the trip.

 

Take one of your days off and get it done, just have some place where you can go and actually flex your suspension to make sure youre good.
