Colorado B.S. Thread

wanna trade? ha ha

 

post #900 for me...damn my bosses would kill me if they realized how much time i spend on this damn forum

 

I'm constantly checking haha. We need to make our BS thread the best one out there.

 

Haha we are working on it...Look at how fast it has grown since the begging of the year

 

If you throw in your URD Y-pipe I'll trade you.

 

why waste the money getting belly skids powder coated ? they have blue rattle can paint its going to last just as long as the powder coated paint only you have $$ for other stuff.

 

if i have a y-pipe i'd consider it...i have long-tubes to the stock y-pipe ending with magnaflow cat back

valid point

 

You know I never did understand this, seems like a lot of people get their skids powdercoated

 

OHhh, If I had to do over I would like ATO skids with the URD Y-pipe.

 

yea i thought about the y-pipe but having zero cats didn't sound like a good idea in the long run...it would be fine now, but who knows what state i'll be in down the road

 

damn i want the bud built set up now knowing it works with the exhaust...i mainly got all pro cause i knew i'd get it in before this weekend...

 

I wonder if that cross member for the Tcase skid has to be welded on the Bud skid?

 

On the installation instructions it appeared to be bolted

 

1. Next, place the trans skid on the floor, and put the Budbuilt cross-member on top of it. Using 3 of the short carriage bolts and lock nuts provided, loosely mount the cross-member to the skid plate. The cross-member should be oriented so that the cross bar is toward the front of the vehicle.

 

does it weld to the frame?

 

looks like everything is bolt on

 

Yep everything is bolt on...

Just got an e-mail back from bud, great response time I sent one in like 30 min ago. Everything is bolt on. As for the T-case if you get the exhaust rerouted, you just reomve the spacer and it gives you another 1.25 inches of clearence

 

Powder coat is a good base coat for any steel item. After that if you scrape it up you can rattle can it to keep it from rusting.

The guy that powder coated my wheels does a great job and has good prices too. You might just consider buying raw steel and powder coating them here.

If and when I do my T case skid and rear bumper he will be getting my work.

 

does anyone here have a all-pro tcase skid? wondering if you ever had an issue with that scoop (exhaust kickdown) catching on anything while wheeling?
