    Will your mid/transmission skid bolt up to the pelfreybilt IFS?

    It will not. What we’ve been telling people is selling their opposing skid then buy a full set from us.

    Hmm.. What about your IFS and clearing my BAMF LCA skids?

    Edit:

    On second look it appears your skids are mostly the same but the pre-slotted holes for the mid mount are just in different locations, if this is the case I can easily just drill mine to match.

    Are you willing to confirm?

    I do know our front IFS skid is compatible with BAMF LCA skids. @Blackout14 is running that combo currently.

    I do not know where their front skid ends. If it is shorter than ours, then our transmission skid won't reach the front skid. If longer, then you will have issues bolting the faces together. If you know someone local that can weld for you then you could always chance it and worst case they cut some stuff apart, move it around and weld it back together.

    It never efffing ends.....

    I can vouch that the @Mobtown Offroad IFS skid will work with the Bamf LCA skid.

    Does the transmission skid cover up the cats pretty well so it’s hard for them to get cut off and stolen? I know it’s an odd question but Iv has to much stuff stolen off my Tacoma I need to be better prepared.

    So the width of the skid is even with the outer edge of the cat. It certainly covers it a good bit. It wouldn't be impossible to get in there with a sawzall, but if you paired it with a transfer case skid, a thief would most likely move on as it'll take more time than it's worth. My .02 anyways.

    So I would have to get all three of them to make it difficult? Thanks for checking for me. If you wouldn’t mind snapping a pic whenever it’s convenient?

    I guess this will be one of those things that might be hard to tell unless I try it but do you guys think marlins new LCA reinforcements will fit with the front skid?
    I purchased the LCA reinforcement, now looking for skids that'll fit lol

    It’s all just metal! Easily modifiable to make it work.
