    Is that a BudBuilt skid? LCA mount protection is the most obvious and overlooked item on most differential skids. I've only seen his stuff provide protection for that area.

    Will do, probably wait till tomorrow to take some good daylight pics

    I'm just getting the truck back for this weekend to go test with the shop out in Ocotillo. It's going back in Monday assuming everything is running as planned and taken apart and powdercoated. :)

    I know! I just swung by on my way back to the office after my appointment. MOAR to follow.

    Touche~

    You could just take off/cut/remove the lower portion of your skid leaving just the upper portion (like Jason's) then install a Bud-Build skid. It's most likely be easier to just have Brandon make you a skid with edges that stick out and protect that portion:cool:

    yeah i think right where it bends at im going to remove below that and just have him build a wider skid, would be way cheaper than a bud built. :) hes also doing full skids as well so i might just have him cover that with a different skid... not too sure yet need to talk to him more.
