30 and younger thread

hahaha I think you made a good choice.

 

Yes you do trust me. That piece of "metal" they call a skid plate is not strong at all

 

I really don't know if I'm going to even lift it. I am going to level it eventually though. Any suggestions there?

being 2wd gives you a variety of options, Im not sure on what they all are as i have a 4wd. Spindles i know level your truck pretty easy.

 

Well shit. I was excited thinking thats one thing I wouldn't have to buy.

 

It came with factory skid plates or actual thick steel skids? The ones I make are like 83483214 times as strong as a factory skid. I'm welding up a prototype 1st gen rear bumper Saturday that can easily be modified to 2nd gen, so I'll probably try to mock that up on Chad's truck too when I'm there. There's another local guy that wants me to design a front bumper for his 2012 also, but that will be a little ways out on the schedule.

 

Are spindles fairly cheap?

 

I'll have to look tomorrow at them to check. About how heavy are your plates?

 

A 2 piece set of my skids is 100 lbs, 50 lbs each. The 2nd gen ones might be different though.

 

Ah okay. Easy to instal? I'm hoping to be able to do most (if not all) of my modifications myself cause I'd like to learn how to work on cars/trucks.

 

Skids are definitely a 1 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. If you can turn a wrench, you can install a skid.

 

Soi went to Baker Street pub yesterday to get this special saint Arnold bishop beer well that beer was 8.75!!!! I threw a damn fit, I asked the shitty server what were the craft beers on sale and she accuses me of lieing about a special when it's on the website.. Needless to say she got a 1 cent tip

 

Checking in from halfway around the world. Guess I didn't miss much.

 

Thats a goddamn expensive beer man! Hope you didnt buy it at that price!

Nah, Just some ranting... Some raving. You know how it is.

 

Ranting and raving. Well carry on. Might nai nai soon. It's almost 4 am here.

 

Was so close to buying the only UWS low pro box I've found that will fit my truck...The guy sold it this morning. kinda pissed, but oh well. More money for the Ford I guess!
