    So I just got a Demello bumper just like yours, but with headlight hoops. It doesn't come with the front skid and I was wondering if your skid was made by Demello when the bumper was built. Also is the skid bolted on or welded on?

    If the skid was welded on I'd be fucked 6 ways to Sunday.
    Skid is a true BB skid with no modifications. The front bumper has a crossmember that would be in the factory location of the stock skid mounting points where the factory skid goes (and the BB skid takes advantage of).

    Sorry I meant the one on the bumper. I worded that wrong, I know what you mean about the BB being a pain if welded on. Here is my bumper so you know what I mean.

    I'm missing the skid that is attached to the front of the bumper.

    Cut a piece of aluminum and bolt it in with the tabs that are already welded on.

    That's what I was thinking or possibly 1/8" steel so I could possibly convert the bumper to have a winch and more stability. Thanks Jason.

    Good call. I'm sure someone around me can make something but it's a good second option.

    Did the front brakes today.
    EBC rotors and pads. First impressions are good. We'll see how they feel after bedding in completely.

    New amber single row LED bar. Should cut nicely under dust and inclement weather.

    I lost my Stauns in Pismo. Since then I've been just using my valve core tool and probably always will. No matter how you look at it, the deflators are limited by how fast they can release air because of the valve core. Without a valve core, you go from a coffee straw to a big gulp straw.

    Oh yeah....got me a matching set now and the pro-craps are spares.

    Yep. I'm sold on it. Should be worth its weight in gold up here in snow storms.

    I only had two, and they were spares. As of Monday I'm running a full set....so their holding up great the last 4 days!. :p
