    I think Kenny had a thread w/ pics on the fab & install.
    Also, you can catch a glimpse of it in action in some of last years Moab pics.
    And check out his stainless mondo sliders...

    that's hot

    I wish I could afford under armor and a trip out to the trails. And that would help alot when I (eventually) move back to WV and hit the trails daily.

    Also... Would they be able to fab up a front and rear skid plate like the ones on the O2 and everybody longs for? That would be awesome.

    Kenny!
    You 'da man!
    Than's exactly what I needed. What thickness stock was used? I see the cutout for the oil drain, and I am thinking this one peice protects the gas tank as well, since it goes so far back?
    Thanks a million!

    Your gas tank already has a crush panel/skid plate.
    What you see under the rear that looks like the gas tank, is actually a bash pan.
    After some Moab trail mods, I've removed mine & massaged it with a two pounder...make nice.

    I think I could get this fabbed for me by my local guy for about $150 tops. He did my diff brackets for $15.

    James, if you find your guys will do this for a decent price, let them know they might have a few "local" customers. I would be interested in something like what Kenny has, but painted black of course!
