    Yah get some pictures posted up! I'm happy to hear you like them.

    you could just leave them spray painted and just touch them up every once and a while? then you wouldn't have to worry about scratching the powder coat?:notsure:

    Hey Matt, would you be able to build a transfer case skid plate?

    PS. When you get back, and good luck with your first semester.

    yes, thats actually been on my mind for a while. It will however require that you change the stock exhaust to go around the tcase instead of under it.

    like this.

    I did that myself using the end of my exhaust that i cut off. It would look much nicer if i went to a shop :p

    Oh I'm planning on moving the exhaust very soon. So that wouldn't be an issue, I'm just trying to get a general idea of how much something like that would cost from you.

    i'd like to sell it for 180-220.

    depends on how much tubing i use and how much sheet metal and if i can reuse stock hardware or not

    Ok, sounds good. Maybe I could come down there when you get back from break and I can be your test vehicle? But put me down for one of these as tenative :)

    We need to keep you in business when you get back.
