    Thanks man. I wasn't really sure how it would look. I am sure it will grow on me though. Ya it is pretty freaking big. But it is meant for the top of the windshield.

    Ya the newest version is even more stout then mine. I got a nice tour of his new set up and a look at his new designs of skids.

    They are pretty easy to bolt up. I have been using a floor jack to get it in place.

    Dude my Skid isn't bolting up nicely at all. I don't if I'm missing something but it's not lining up with holes, and when I go to raise it up its hitting stuff underneath before it even reaches the holes.

    I know what you are doing wrong. Do you have the stock skid plate brackets. If so put those back on and it will bolt on great. He uses them to strengthen the skid and gives the versatility of people with the diff drop. And a lot of mall crawler people don't like taking those brackets off.

    Hey ryan I didn't get a pic of the brackets tonight. By the time I got home it was dark. I will get a pic of them in the morning of them for sure.

    You're the man! Thanks buddy!! If I don't have those, then I'll have to make some sort of spacers for the front so that it mounts up nice!

    Ya that won't be hard. If you have to do that, I would maybe put a braces on the angled part. But we will see if you have those brackets first.

    Isn't that a die cut sticker, so you should peel off the cover?

    How am I a poser? Just because you have their skids before like everybody?

    It probably is. I will pull the cover off in the morning. It was a little cold when I put it on.
