    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I can tell you use the skid and that area is a lot weaker now so I would just keep an eye on it at least.

    Mind snapping a closer photo. I have my stock skid dropped and I have both BAMF IFS skid and Marlin LCA ctr. Looking for best way to modify the skid or modify the Marlin. Are you on stock suspension?

    The UPS drivers do not like us lol. Our mail lady can only grab like three or four CMC envelopes at a time when loading. Considering we sell over 1000 CMC plates a year she loves us.

    On TC uppers and TC expo lowers with 2.5 rr Kings.
    I could have, should have cut less.
    I would cut the skid :crapstorm:
    The Marlin kit is to nice to cut.

    I like how it turned out.
    This what I did.

    You didn't cut as much as it thought it looks good. From the other pics it looked like the whole flange was gone.

    I think keeping more of the edge along the whole side is the way to go.:sawzall:I may have got carried away with my cutting? That said I believe that it will be just fine.

    I second what @JLee said, I can’t really tell that you cut the skid.

    My thoughts would be to install the Marlin then mock up the skid and mark for cuts?

    Hi,
    Does the Transfer Case Skid plate have option for stock exhaust and re-routed exhaust for more clearance?

    Update: Disregard, got my answer. Exhaust re-route needed.

    Rattle can primer. Anyone know is the gloss enamel will last on this? I rolled it on the front skid, a lot easier and better coverage than spraying.

    Used this on my sliders. Obviously if you use your skid repaint.
