    Here is plate #2, and I think it will be the last plate, the transfer case is covered by the trooper plate, and there isn't a whole lot else in the rear except the differential. The gas tank already has a plate. So I believe I am done.

    Might want to overlap the front plate over the rear (looks like the rear is over the front) to prevent it from snagging on rocks. Looks good though.

    TRIATHLETE--- Hmmm, good point. However, I suspect MARLIN considered this, but probably ran into some kind of engineering dilema that prevented him from overlapping the front over the back as you mentioned. In the event the plate does get "snagged" on a rock, them just Hammer Down!!! I do agree, that MARLIN has done a very impressive job; especially for not having any formal metal fab training and for also doing all of his mod's in his frickin' driveway. Simply incredible!!!

    Actually, the rear is over the front with a two inch overlap, but only in the center 10". It doesn't look like it in the pic though...
    Thanks for the bid of confidence Riffraff. It did come out nice. Now I have half a sheet of diamond deck, gotta think of something to do with it. Maybe a base for the luggage rack?

    Dumke; I use this for an image resizer in Vista. Its' only a little over 2 MB. They may have a spell checker too.
