    The good news is they're back and mostly boxed. The front skid is boxed. Mid and rear I ran out of boxes but they should be here this week. Sorry for the delay!

    @Subway4X4 Any chance you have photos of the install crossmember? @Dave2016trdsport4x4 needs install help. I forgot I never updated that final step on my instructions and don't have photos right now.

    Edit: Added more installed photos:

    @Dave2016trdsport4x4 -The crossmember install instructions are different from what is on the current @Mobtown Offroad instruction PDF on the website because of development changes/improvements. The frame attachment brackets do not use the beam clamps.

    The crossmember bracket holes align with the holes on either side of the frame. On the drivers side frame, the bolt that attaches the brake hardline bracket to the frame is the one that matches up to your crossmember bracket.

    Passenger side: Crossmember NOT installed.

    Passenger side: Crossmember installed. Passenger's frame side uses a 3/8" bolt/lock nut (not listed in the part list, but provided.)

    Driver side: Crossmember NOT installed. Remove hardline brake bracket bolt and save for re-use.
    IMG_0946.jpg

    Driver side: Slip crossmember between brake line bracket and frame. Re-use OEM bolt. @Mobtown Offroad has a pre-drilled hole for the brake-line bracket alignment/locator tab.
    Crossmember installed.

    Got our skids installed yesterday. Went pretty smooth.

    Two points I'd like to make.
    1) We originally oriented the crossmember for the transfer case skid backwards. I didn't see any markings on it, and the instructions I pulled off the internet didn't show a picture, or seem to mention it. (If I missed something from the instructions, I apologize) If you're installing the crossmember, the mounting holes on the frame tabs go to the front of the truck.

    2)When removing the transmission crossmember bolts, slightly raise the crossmember with a jack. It's easier to pull the bolts (they are holding up the transmission afterall) and I went ahead and replaced them with the provided bolts so I could get the jack out of the way. (In the instructions you pull the old ones and replace them a few steps later).

    I am impressed with the machine work, all of the holes on the skids and crossmember lined up easily. Didn't hardly have to wiggle the skids at all, and the bolts just magically threaded themselves right in. Awesome work Joe!
