    Currently running 1/8 rectangular tubing but moving up to 3/16 channel with beefier mounts to the frame, mainly for recovery purposes.

    In your case you want to protect the camper 3/16s would be the safer option

    Any chance you have some dimensions or made some drawings for the skids? That’s my next project also.

    I just used my stock skids and transferred the hole patterns to two prices of 3/16s (one is mounted to the bumper, other is mounted to the cross member.) Then just bridge it with plate.



    if you want dimensions there’s and a few posts with details here:

    As for updates, I picked up a CO2 tank and currently building a mount, nothing exciting it will be mounted inside the bed.

    Building stuff has been on hold due to moving, no garage anymore but have basement so the fabbing continues! Got to test out the CO2 mount on a short camping trip, worked out great!

    Simple DIY tarp awning set up coming soon.
