GraveYard Shift BS

hey thats what i did with my bumpers... and prob what i would do with sliders if i ever get any. (1400 for full set under the truck)

 

Is that the gas tank skid included? I think my 3 skids were $700ish

 

so thats the engine, transfer case, transmission, A arms, rear diff and gas.

 

Ah. That's not too bad then. The gas tank and rear diff are almost half that isn't it?

 

A guy here at work just told me Trump tested positive for Covid

 

close ya. its RCI i was looking up. and thats before a discount and shipping. the front 3 were 700 i think about

 

So does Melania

If I ever go with a bed rack, it'll be the RCI one. My buddy in Denver has full RCI skids/sliders and has had no problem with them. They're also local to him, so no shipping

 

im trying to decide if i want a bed rack anytime soon. thinking maybe since i want to start camping more and just get a smity RTT to make things easier. but the skids, i might just do the front ones for now (whenever i buy) since i dont plan on too much heavy hitting, then again, could just buy the entire set and take it off when not needed to save weight since its my DD (if i dont ride the bike)

 

I'd bet it's too much of a pain in the ass to remove them when not needed. I saw a hard top RTT on fb marketplace the other night for $600. I wish I would've had the money for it. It was in great shape.

 

from what ive seen, its only a few bolts per. and i wouldnt take the full set off. leave the enigne and transmission since those connect. that would of been nice.

 

The xfer case doesn't weigh enough to make a difference. The heaviest is the IFS skid. The sliders are gonna give the biggest hit, but no where near your bumpers

 

dude i am so excited to get my sliders installed when i get home. and my front bumper. im tired of looking at the damn winch everytime i go into my closet. im trying to get that shit done the first week im back in town.

 

It's gonna be a badass truck. I'm jealous of the HC rear bumper.

 

i still havent mounted/tested the swing out yet. But if i can make the trip in NOV ill have it. need to look into a way to mount the hi lift to it also.

 

I know nothing of hi-lifts.

What winch did you go with?

 

I so want to make the trip

 

um..... shit. smity x20 i think.... with synth line 10k.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ride on down

I'm torn on the winch. I have no doubt I won't use it regularly, but then again, I want it to work if/when needed. Warn 9500's pop up on fb for around $600 a good bit.

 

i paid 500 for mine off Amazon i think. and same, id use it but not that often.but its still something i want in case. esp being in a hurricane area and having the truck. I could get assigned to drive around and check peoples homes for damage so need something to maybe pull trees out of the way and such.

 

I always wanted the Warn 8274 when I had my TJ. I love the look of those on Jeeps.
