    HAVOC is into airsoft, (as am I but not like them) think of it like paintball with a heavier focus on realism, in the back of his truck he has a "bulletproof vest" more commonly referred to by those who actually use them as a plate carrier because it carries the bulletproof plates.

    I was wondering if he actually was running the field with that weight on for training or realism or if it was empty, and he was saying that he has simulated plates in it, more flexible so they don't bite your gut and hips when you bend over, but still gives it mass and rigidity to a certain degree.

    The piece I bought was a bit short so I had to use some regular satin black on the upper edges :D it changes sheen at different angles.

    A couple weeks ago but replaced my 6in spacer with full length icon vehicle dynamics with the heavier springs to support my ARB bumper!

    Odd angle, I know. That's the gas tank and the bolt on my leaf clamp. The offending bolt has been shortened and I put a giant blob of steel epoxy over the gouge, along with a post-it note as a wear-away indicator to make sure there's no more potential rub.

    More like last night but I dented the absolute crap out of my OEM skid plate yesterday. Tire will rub at full lock. Any suggestions for a new one? Budget is a tad tight.

    You got a sledgehammer? Beat it back into shape, or close enough until you hit the lottery.

    Ha no sledge, it's pretty beat up with a couple punctures in the pan itself. It just looks pretty because I rattle canned it. I can easily justify upgrading to a steel one, but I'm not really wanting to pay >$400 for one. CBI has been realistically the only one that I know about if anyone has another suggestions.

    People typically get rid of theirs for free in the classifieds section. I’m sure you’ll be able to find one local to you

    Try posting a new thread asking if anyone has a take off skid plate hanging around. You might have to bump the thread back to the top of the pile every now and again. You can also post in the what have you done to your 2nd gen today thread that links the thread or just asks if anyone has one. Or search TW for threads that ask people to show off their aftermarket bumpers or skids. Those are likely to be places where extra skid plates live.

    And you can even check your local auto salvage yard......

    Unless you pound it out check offerup, not sure where you are located but I found a used set for $50.

    Thanks to @GHOST SHIP, I got this sick rack mounted up. Really happy with how it came out. If you are local, you should try his new delivery service:rofl:JK.
    Big thanks to Sergio for the work and the install.
