Drill and tap? Rivets are fairly permanent. Or at least a PITA to drill out

 

Hes still on his meds.

 

Ya. Meds. Let's go with that.











Googling what the f is a rivet nut

 

Are rivet-nuts strong enough for skids?

 

Oh, you guys are talking about nut zerts

 

Way outta the way, but I do. Willing to TW express if anyone is willing.

 

Rivnut, rivet-nut, nutserts, all same same.
Im sure a set of those pressed into the existing holes in the frame will do a better job than the current hardware

 

That would be incredible, like I said no rush so if there is a TW express possible that'd work out

 

Hey Rob,
Did you weld your sliders on yourself?
Just ordered some Trail Gear Sliders and the only welder I have access to is down in So-cal

 

How in the fkn fk did you know that?!

 

they all look the same

 

I did not. A couple years ago my noob self showed up to a mod day and I took advantage of @916TacoTruck 's incredible generosity I still owe him aloot of beers

 

for all of you that run a snorkel... according to the "EXPERTS" on a Ford ranger page, "snorkels cause ~40% reduction in engine power and torque" FORTY FUCKING PERCENT!. I've already been kicked from 1 page for trolling them lol

 

40%? My Truck is already so slow by those numbers I wouldn’t be able to drive on the highway with a snorkel.

 

yup.. I said "it's more than just for water crossing, its also to pull cooler air in" and one of the guys says "What difference does that make when it's harder to get the air down into your intake? Snorkels take a ton of power way and they're only to raise your intake for water crossing or splashing. just facts"

 

I may be mistaken but you are both wrong. Snorkels are for pulling in cleaner air, not cooler or dryer. But it can help with water.

 

I thought it was for cleaner and cooler air. I may have been mistaken. either way I got removed from the page. they kicked me because they said there can't be any "back and forth arguments" haha

 

Correct
