    Ran into problem when installing the mid skid. Haven't had time to work on it since Thursday, maybe today I can straighten it out. 20150813_152033.jpg

    Yep! I have a pretty big friend who is built like a tank I'm going to have him straighten it for me lol.


    Thanks! I want a heretic mainly because it's better build quality and its a single row. I'm having a hard time fitting double row to get it just right. A year later and still can't get it right lol.

    Thank you! I used 2'' wide u-bolts from a hardware store, drilled two holes and bolted them down from the inside
