    Yeah I found it after I posted, I noticed one has the towing light junction, is that an option also? if so how much?

    if the bumper is ordered with a hitch you have the option of getting it with either a tab to bolt the trailer plug to next to the hitch (similar to how it is on the factory hitch) or you can get it flush mounted next to the license plate as seen in some of the pictures. there is no additional charge for that when included with a hitch.

    well here's a few shots of the first tcase skid.. this design requires the exhaust crossover be moved to behind the tcase for clearances. doing this adds to the clearance under the truck and allows the skid to be completely flat. you can also see in the first picture how the skid wraps under and up the front of the factory crossmember thus protecting it from rocks as well. the tube crossmember supplied with the skid that supports the back clamps to the frame rails. installation requires no drilling and only simple hand tools to install.

    keep in mind that in these pictures it looks like it wastes alot of space but my truck has the inchworm crawler and lefty installed which is much higher than the stock tcase.


    edit.. just wanted to note that the skid is laser cut and CNC bent so they are very precise!

    yea i'm still designing it.. right now the one i have on the front is completely caved in from "feeling" my way through stuff.... :D i'm looking at different ways to strengthen it up...

    the way i see it is because most of us have very limited ground clearance it is even more important that our skids are extremely tough while also providing as smooth a surface as possible for those times when you do have to use your skid as a "ramp" to get over stuff.....

    Kevin, Thanks for the update. I had a question regarding the T-case skid in the pictures you provided. Having the exhaust rerouted, would any competent exhaust shop be capable of doing that kind of work?

    any exhaust shop should be able to do it.. i'll post up a picture shortly of what mine looks like now. its a pretty simple change that really does help with the ground clearance, plus the factory crossover seems like it would be somewhat restrictive since it flattens out so much.


    thanks! still working on the rest of them...


    are you referring to a guard for the locker motor??
