    Mine was delivered today, bolting it on tomorrow. Just got to have enough coffee to figure out which bolts go where! :yawn:
    Fantastic piece of work, by the way!

    I cut a T notch into relentless mid skid mount holes (and beat the fuck outta it w bfh) to fit. Is that along the lines of what you had to do?

    Ended up just bolting the back and jacking it up with them attatched. Would have been a perfect match if the bamf skid was angled up a bit more at the rear or the relentless skid was less angled in the front

    I got my Fumoto valve installed then bolted up the IFS skid.
    That was super easy. Used a rubber floor mat on top of the jack to keep the skid from slipping during install.
    By the way, the drain hole is perfectly centered for the 2.7 liters as well as the 4.0's.
    An added plus, the extra weight makes my 6112 coilovers ride smoother now:)

    Dam rain put my install off until Wednesday. That and I need to remove the diff drop.

    This is a little pic to show you the BAMF IFS skid is the strongest you can buy. This is a 8500lb fork lift parked on it I couldn't get it any higher the other wheel was spinning. No flex at all when driving it up on the skid or the forklift!

    Buy it once buy BAMF!

    Oh and you can buy that skid it's the prototype and has been beat in Pismo hence the sand blasting of the paint.

    It's 50% off retail to the first one that wants it! We will also blast and powder cost it for 50 bucks.

    It's bent in the wrong spot on the passenger side it's only cosmetic but looking at it from the front you can tell.

    Installed mine today Jerry and my LCAs. On the LCAs do I need to drill out the lower hole on the LCAs for your carriage bolt to work. Didn't have time tonight, but the hole was too small. Maybe it's an 05 thing?

    Oh and it lined up perfect. Installed it solo and it took an hour and a half with the removal of the diff drop and the LCAs.

    Started getting mine primed up this morning. I can see where one of those Fumoto valves could come in handy, just from moving it around it will be a little work to take on and off for oil changes being as I am too OCD to try it with it on and end up getting oil all over the top of the plate.

    Mine lined up well, and soon it will be trail painted with rock chips and scratches. A little spent lube won't hurt :D

    Yeah the hole closest to wheel needs to be drilled out. 5/8" bit should do it!
