    Oh yea, they should be good for more than a year. I think mine are at 2 years so you're golden

    That skid has seen a lot of love!

    Which reminds me, I need to pull mine and bang it straight again. It's rubbing on my exhaust and making a weird noise lol

    Tempted to just cut the part that hangs down around the exhaust off and let the trail hammer the exhaust pipe flat :rofl::burnrubber:

    The truck definitely needs a tummy tuck. The belly hangs like a chubby cat.

    If our cross members didn't hang so dang low we wouldn't get hung up half as much as we do. It'd be cool to clock the Tcase for a flat belly but that's easier said than done...

    Your absolutely right with that I’ve never had a rig get caught up on just one particular spot when wheeling. Hopefully these new tires will help some.

    Couldn't say, it belongs to the guy we split the hangar with. If you're interested I could see if he wants to get rid of it.

    Well skid plates had to come back off:frusty:
    Went for a little cruise it started to sprinkle a little figured great time to test the tires. Little spot by the house it gets muddy quick any how hit the road same speed I always do and I heard a sound I can only describe as richochet rabbits call “old cartoon” or small arms ricochet. While driving below 1500rpm truck was making the most awful noise think of a bearing seizing.
    Look under truck skid plates are rubbing at the crossmember a bolt snapped and bounced off something was the first noise.
    So took them off till I get a new bolt and nut. :smash:

    I would imagine the hardware on the sliders get stressed. Probably not a bad idea to change often.

    Sliders are grade 8 I always check before and after a wheeling trip.
    When I get back from my trip I may see if those bamf sliders are still available.
