    I'm not sure. I've never had any complaints.

    You want skid plates and a bumper? The skids would be 3/16" I assume, not 3/8"? I don't have 3/8".

    Can you give a measurement where the transfer case skid needs to be mounted to the frame? Interested in a 3 piece set, but I made my own sliders, and they're welded onto the frame with an L bracket. Hoping it will all work together! I will take a picture to illustrate what I'm talking about, if you want a reference to where I need the measurement.

    I made up my mind. Put me down for the 3 piece set in 1/8".

    It would mount to the frame from 4-15" behind the center of the transmission crossmember. Something like that.
    Got it!

    The slider plate is about 12.5" back from the crossmember. Could you take a measurement when you get a chance to see how far the rear side is? Would love to get on this GB for a full set. If it doesn't fit, maybe I'll just cut a notch in the skid plate to fit around the slider plate. Think that would make a huge difference in strength?

    You listed estimated shipping cost for skids but what about the DYI bumper with plate flip? Orange County CA.

    It would be close. I get about 14" from your mark. You could easily notch the skid with no issues.

    About $40 for that.

    How would the swing out work if I wanted the DYI bumper?

    In the past I would provide a hole in the bumper for the hinge, but I leave the rest up to you. They are fairly custom parts.

    One last question, will the skids have to be modified to clear BAMF LCA skids?

    Man, you're killing me. Put me down for the bumper w/tire carrier, jerry can mount, and flip up plate. Add that to the skid set in 1/8". Could you leave the flip-up off? I'll drill and mount it myself. I'm not exactly sure I want it over the hitch.
