    see the 2 small holes on either side... they are just like are stock skids and have that bracket on the other side of the skid... the bb's only mount with the 3 bolts at the bumper and at the crossmember, while these mount at the bumper 2 in the middle and crossmember.... I think

    ^^^ easier to explain with pics haha

    Hey guys,

    Don't worry about cutting the front skid lip of the bud builts. I talked to Bud about that before shipping them and he cut it for me free of charge.

    Awesome guy that Bud is.

    I think they were shipping last week but I didn't get a PM so I'm not sure. Its going to be a good weekend when they get there.

    I've also got rear diff armor and frame reinforcements to weld on. Then the mini tank will be ready :goingcrazy:

    Has anyone found a way to armor the gas tank. I Haven't found anything available for us 1st gens.

    I wouldn't mind making them if I had a more efficient way of doing it, I made that one with a cutting torch, grinder and welder. It took about 4 days (evenings). I mean I could make them, but wouldnt want to take on 15-20 at a time. I'd :goingcrazy:
