    I'm surprised it lasted that long!

    I'm on my 3rd set of skids. It's just thin tin.

    Get a new one through insurance?

    Think it's more the sentimental value more than the monetary value for him.

    Honestly, I popped the bumper out, reset the fog light, wiped the hair off and you would never know it happened. Not even a scratch.... So insurance is out, I'll prob just keep my eyes peeled for a new trd skid or something better...

    I tried bending the skid plate back but I can still notice it and it bothers me...

    Heat the skid with MAP gas and work it into shape.

    Anyone in here tried putting a Chevy 3500 Driveshaft center support bearing (Carrier Bearing) in our trucks? I read one post on TW and a lot on the wookie mod. Just wondering...

    Only saw one guy do it and he had to custom make a mount since it would have stepped the carrier down too far otherwise. I'm just going to buy an OEM replacement through Rock Auto. The first one made it over 90k miles, if the second lasts anywhere near that long, it won't be my problem the next time it needs replacing.

    Thanks!
