    It's on the truck now. Still planning on adding a few lips to it and fill in the gaps. 20240502_161551.jpg 20240502_161556.jpg 20240502_161604.jpg 20240502_162722.jpg

    My Ugly Skid Plate. But she don't need to be pretty to do the job. I wanted to add a couple of gussets to the rear lip. I have room... I just ran out of energy... Lol. Made this out of 3/16 steel plate.

    I'll post up some more pics of it on the truck when I get it on.

    Definitely different!

    Cardboard was my preferred method for shaping out what I needed for my skid.

    No one makes a skid for a fabtech drop bracket.

    Truck is doing well. Took it out to Slaughterhouse Trail and did all of the most difficult obstacles save 1. I was leading a pack of people and Slaughterhouse was by far the most difficult trail I've done since restoring the truck.

    Skid plate is installed. I'm probably going to end up adding 2 more bolts to the front vertical plate. Just for security. It's tight now, no rattle, as it is and easily supports the weight of the truck. I'm concerned as it gets used it may loosen up a bit and start making noise. I'm leaving it as it is for now.

    I will add though that I can easily see this rig selling to someone for $7k or a tad more if it comes with the new tires

    List it for $9-11k.

    Then take $8.5k and be happy with it.

    I only put a low initial value based on the suspension/lift, but overall it looks clean and is locked.
