    That's kinda what I did. I played allll the time when I was living in FL. Like a good 54 holes a week, but once I moved to MD I didn't play for almost a year and a half. Now I'm getting back into it and I missed it!! Feels really good to get out again. You and the mrs. have any plans?

    1. We'll be rick rolling everyone
    2. I was going to suggest 3/16" with reinforcements from the local metal depot. They'll cut to size. Or see if I can buy it from Joe.
    3. Nope, it's shitty flux core.

    How big of a piece do you think it is? Like 3x2? I might have some 3/16 lying around. I think i can modify my current 1/4" skid

    Yeah 3'x2' would be plenty big. I'd need to measure but I think it really only needs to be like 18" wide and 30" long. If you had some metal on hand that'd be freaking dope.

    I have no idea. The whole reason this started is because Adam is a prerunner and their trans crossmember is in a different spot, so no aftermarket companies made a mid skid to fit them. He expressed wanting one, and then had the idea that we could just make one pretty easily. Maybe this sunday?

    @ilubtimmyhos Get. In. Here.

    Pardon my interupting... :anonymous:. I have been lurking on the Lair and noticed this post. Are those tires 255/80/17? I am looking at potentially getting those tires and like the look on your truck.

    Thank you for the warm welcome. I enjoy lurking in your Lair. You guys seem to have a good time in here... :devil:
    I currently have 275/70s but kinda liking the skinny tires for a bit more height without too much extra weight. Liking the ST Maxx.
