    Hey Erik sorry to bother you but did you ever get my skids sent out? I checked with the Fastenal here in Mesa and they have no information on it.

    bc I rerouted my tcase exhuast, I have to cut my tcase skid a bit because of the exhaust pipe coming from the driver side cat just like how the passenger side is cut :(

    you can see where the passenger side is cut on here (pic from OP)

    SJE and I ran into the same problem. My TCase skid is still sitting on the garage floor cause I didn't can a chance to mock it up and make the cuts before I left for vacation. I used a cut off wheel on an angle grinder and it worked out fine-Took a few minutes but not a big deal.

    yeah I'm going to do the same thing, but I doubt my cut will be nice and round like Eric's. It'll probably be square and I'll sand down the corners

    Yeah...I thought about getting my buddies torch to try and make it a neater cut- but I just don't think it's worth it. I cleaned SJE's with a grinding wheel to take sharp edges and burrs off it- It's up under the truck so I wasn't too worried about what it looked like.
    We trimmed a bit on his other side too cause the shop that moved our exhausts must have moved the pipe over just a little bit so he was getting a rattling noise and has a dent in the pipe now.

    ahh good call. I'll have to recheck the fitment on mine to see if I need to widen that section as well.

    sorry, at the moment I'm just too swamped to do another GB. Got to knock out a ton of bumpers/sliders right now!

    Next GB will probably be in fall or winter.

    There should have been an envelope taped down to one of the mid skids... It had both yours and JohnnyM's hardware in it together. Did you open the envelope?
