Since the other thread got lost right before the stuff that happened I figured I would post them up again.

Before paint

The first pic gives you a good look, it ends just before the A-arm

I didin't see any in the pictures but, you might want to think about some drain holes some where. That skid plate looks like a giant tub to me and any mud is gonna settle in it and make it REAL heavy.

Yeah, I just haven't done it yet. I want to cut out a cool design or think of a cool design made with holes, so I have held off for now. So I just have to unbolt them and dump for now.

You could make it look like circle perforated steel, but I think as long as it's functional than you'll be happier.

I was looking at your install again and I'd recommend flipping your bolts over, that way if you ever seriously wheel it and slide on some rocks, you won't damage the threads of the bolts making removal difficult.

Man I sure hope I don't get a rock up there to hit those threads, cause if that happens, I'm thinking some other serious damage is going to occur.

We were going to do it that way the first time, but on the drivers side there is the damn fuel filter that is right in the way, so I makes it a pain to take on and off.

I think I'm going to redo the front of the transfer case skid cause it digs in instead of sliding over.
