    Looks good!

    I'd suggest loosening the front strap on the passenger side and tightening the front driver side. That will take some of that dip out of the passenger side.

    Like a full belly on a side by side? That's possible, but would certainly be a one off. $$$ :D

    If it can clear suspension droop and stuff... Definitely interested. My Iltis has a full steel belly skid... I'll take it places I won't take the quad.

    Finally got Trail Toys UHMW gas skid installed. My thanks to Nathan for answering my silly questions,,, haha

    for the life of me still can't figure out that f--ckin plastic strap clamp, said the hell with it used 1/2" wide heavy-duty zip tie on the driver-side front of the skid attachment - point, might order 1" wide x 4" stainless steel hose clamp

    any rate really happy with purchase & would recommend this product, no weight to it and it was mentioned prior forgot whom "it's like a Kevlar vest for your Tacoma gas tank"

    See if this will clear things up on that plastic buckle.

    The strap will be doubled up as it goes through the skid and the buckle. Hope that helps.

    Appreciate quick reply Nathan, give it a try tomorrow. Do you see any issues by using a 1" wide x 4" hose clamp? Area between the skid connector-point & bracket is within acceptable means for this to work. thx
