    Yep that was just for test fit since I only had one hand to use to tighten it. I couldn't get the bolt to hang upside down for some reason. :D

    Yay. Those came out nice. Thanks dude. We have a warming trend this week on the east coast. I planned on replacing a leaky gasket in my car anyway. If those plates show up, they will get put on instead of put away.

    I was finally able to check to see if the hardware made it with my transfer case skid and it looks like everything made it. It only came with six self tapping screws, correct?

    For you kmok, yes, since you already have the bolts for the front of it.

    They are self drillers. They do it all. No pilot needed.

    Received mine intact. Think I will put it in the shed until spring as I need to do a pan drop to change out the ATF filter / fluid flush and replace the RTV with a one piece. So I will do all that in one swoop at my buddy's shop. Oh yeah, stainless steel braided lines too.

    Ryan, The skids look awesome. Definitely much beefier than the stock. Now I just have to find the time to prime and paint them, then bolt them up.Thanks!

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    gave my skids a good beating yesterday and they held up great!! just a few relatively minor scratches considering what they went through.. Took them off today to clean up the truck real well and re-installed w/out using the spacers up front, still clears my diff drop w/ no problem.. quality stuff man !
