    Tis true, but I'm guessing if they're apprehensive about drilling a hole in their frame then they might be apprehensive about welding to their truck.

    I have a 2 way walkie already. And armor has priority over everything else right now, thankfully i only need an IFS now to feel comfortable on the trails.

    More common sense, not allowed.

    JK though, that makes sense, not a bad idea.

    I wish I would've welded my CBI sliders on, but I'm glad we did bolt on sliders on the wifes.

    I'm running the BAMF LCA skids with the IFS skid. So far there has been no interference. I'm personally a fan of the LCA skids having bashed a cam bolt in and had a stick shove into my CV boot before I got them. They're a nice peace of mind.

    Also just an update, the fabrication shop is taking a little longer than expected but they should have the skids bent by the end of the week. @dwaltdtx are you still planning to make Hot springs?

    Works for me. What size holes need to be drilled? I'll bring a bit. I'm assuming these use existing hardware where applicable. Any additional hardware needed?
