Smashed a rock into skid, bets on aftermath?

A hammer is not going to work. I use a 6 lbs maul.

 

It’s happened to me. Took it to the dealership after I damaged my skids, not as bad as OP. Bent my front skid plate, Flattened exhaust pipe, transfer case skid, dented my rear drive shaft, and carved into my differential. I was honest with them and they fixed as much as they could without having to order new parts. Drive shaft was still straight. So I paid like $100 just for there time and my warranty is still good since they “repaired” it.

 

Steel skid?

 

Dude thats way worse than me lol.

Yes

 

Part Out!

 

Wow, thats an amazing service from the dealer.
Wish there was more dealers like that.

 

Updated the first post with more photos. Thought the gussets were worse. I guess I was mentally preparing myself to buy another skid.

@jowybyo This skid is a beast.

You guys think its fixable?

 

Did the rock survive

 

pretty sure i took some of it home attached to to the skid lmao.

 

That's what the skids are there for better that then oil pan or trans pan

 

I’m onto you and the BJ you gave the service manager. Under no other circumstances would a dealership do such unbelievably nice things. You literally smashed your truck into a rock. That’s like me driving into a wall and it somehow gets covered under warranty.

 

I was as surprised as you. When they took 2 hours passed delivery to call me I was like. Well shit this is gonna be over 1k

You’re welcome

 

Went under the truck, saw the following.
Why the fuck is the gasket coming out of my front diff?

 

Pretty close!

 

That’s normal with the gasket

 

its not a gasket, just high temp silicone.

 

They could have said to take a walk, didn’t have to cover any of it.

 

Thanks guys I was worried

 

Definitely. I was surprised I was actually spending my morning to calculating how hard of a hit I could take.
