If it matters, and they use the same mounts as factory steps - my Predator steps came straight of James 2017 OR. Bolt right on to my 07. Skid mount to those same points, yes?

 

I was talking to Robert about doing my exhaust to was thinking about doing full length header mid pipe and catback probably gonna drop another 2k into my taco doing it

 

Also just got hooked up with some nice patches my daughter is loving hers!

 

Awesome! Did you happen to compact your granite (wet it first then hit it with a square large hammer tool? Might want to do that before u lay your foundations since that stuff does settle a bit. Btw. I like your shed! Im currently building one those now. I'll post some pics tomorrow of my progress. Happen to know a good place for the vinyle siding? I just put up the walls today.

 

Lol, no hammer! Under the foundation bricks are pea gravel, and covered with more granite. It's gets a sprinkler and a hose. Below that stuff is ground so packed the tiller just bounces. Takes a pick axe to break it. So, everything that moved was really the 6" on top.
I'd just google vinyl siding, and see what you like. House had it done about 15 years ago, and it's held up very well. Shed was the hardi-plank type wall, I just painted it. Now that was a fun leveling project! Carved out the back corner of the yard, and then made a little retaining wall, and raised that back corner about 4".

 

Not an actual hammer its like a flate surface square shaped at the bottom and a long pole attaches to it.( i cant remember what the tool is called) compactor? Yeah i just finished my shed walls with osb and now im looking at a vinyle or some sort of siding fornthe finishing but not sure which route to go. Something affordable but lasting...btw... the green house is cool. Digging it! See what i did there? ;-)

 

I can dig it! I been digging it! And I just stomp on stuff I don't want to move!
(Actually, by the time I finish milling around back and forth, I have pretty well stomped on most all of the construction area!

 

yesssss I want it to sound as mean as it looks now when I hammer it

 

Would that tool be a tamping rod? I have used those in the past for work. In the heat of the day it's no fun using that. Lol. At my mom's I filled a low spot with fill dirt, I just watered it after a few wheelbarrows and drove the riding mower over that area. Worked like a champ.

 

The mid skids have to bolt through the crossmember. If it's forward or aft any he'd have to get creative.

 

Seems like we know someone who had said combo, but darn if I can remember it...

And I'm thinking the sliders, but still, I remember seeing the skid plate fitting



somewhere...

 

If BAMF is same/similar, model years shown for this here trilogy are 2005-2020

Idea!

Hey Robert (@BassAckwards), my mid skid and xfer case skid are off right now and chilling on my garage floor. Wanna try to slap them on?

There's also that

 

I do like this idea, but im not sure when im gonna be in the SA area again! I did send Clayton the money for the skids tonight, so i gotta make em fit now

 

Yeah i believe so, they also have a simliar tool u can just rent which is a large machine that puts weight and vibrates on the gravel to compact it. Deff some manual labor.

 

I think im gonna bolt up the mid and transfer skid on the crossmember like they do on the 4wds and then just buy a big piece of 1/4" aluminum and make a fill piece to bridge the gap between the ifs and mid skid

 

Awesome man! Sounds like a fun project. Deff will be awesome once its finished!

 

*cough cough 4x4 conversioncough*

 

Ummm is that a pool i see? Pool party? Chlorine most certainly will kill the covid...

 

But i already have one 4wd i dont use..
