    Grats on the skids! They go on pretty easy. I used a floor jack with a 2x6 to hold em in place so i could do it by myself.

    It was pretty basic socket sizes so I'd hope you have them!

    Also be careful, those are VERY easy to break, especially with a breaker bar.

    It's for getting the bolts tight enough. I don't trust my small socket wrench to get them tight enough.

    Just got done rotating my boats trailer tires so I'll eat some lunch then head out and do it

    Dude... just tighten them tell they're tight. They're skid plate bolts. The ifs one uses 17 mm bolts and two 13 mm bolts. Probably 17 or 19 to connect the skids to each other... It's fine haha

    Thanks man!! I love it except that I do notice it with wind resistance on the highway and off camber situations.. Im currently trying to sell my canopy and get a bed rack so that the RTT is lower. Mainly because I hit it on so many branches right now I don't want to tear the cover, lower the COG, and make it easier to set up (so I don't have to climb on the tire just to unzip it).

    If I was doing only over landing then i'd keep the shell and have it up there, but on tougher trails I want a lower COG
