    Nice skids. I have a similar setup with the steel skids. They have saved me with slamming down on a rock near the transmission skid. Steel skids are the to go if you go on rocks.

    It is hard to imagine anything damaging those steel skids because I am not the Hulk and that transmission skid is a beatch to maneuver. But I still trust when people say that their skids were mashed while the under parts were safe.

    And while I am not fully bitten by "the bug", I wonder if finishing with TC case skid does not make sense. UCAs and struts will stay the same for a while.

    This sounds like a very slippery slope, and I'm not talking about a slope of mud or scree :)

    I spent the evening giving her a good wash and ceramic spray coating. I have a wash routine using these two products and when used as directed, I have zero swirl marks. I’m very happy with the outcome.

    Your ceramic spray coating isn't going to bond to the paint well on top of that wash n wax.

    Some shops will give you grief about it but never been told “NO”! The key is go in there knowing what you’re talking about and atleast have it narrowed down to a couple different tires. You go in there wanting to look at multiple they may turn on you! It also helps when you checkout the employee parking and see modified vehicles! Damn near the whole shop was coming up and checking out fitment and giving their opinion on which tire they liked. This was definitely one of the better Discounts I’ve been to.
