Thanks guys, I lost track of that thread. The skids look very nice and should work well.
Though you might want to invest in a set of Irwin Bolt Grip extractors for deformed bolt heads...or maybe if you can find something like an allen head carriage style bolt, those would be a lot less likely to catch on rocks and such.
Getting back to my original point, with the diff drop I am quite sure the crossmember will have to be substantially modified. By eyeball, it looks like the crossmember and diff pinion intersect almost exactly. I am actually thinking it might be best to bridge the crossmember over the driveshaft/diff pinion instead of under it, but a test fitting will be necessary to really judge that.
And, the diff pumpkin will almost certainly intersect the front angled plate. A clearance hole will have to be cut, and maybe a bridge built over the hole to protect the pumpkin.
But I was hoping somebody had done all this already and could tell me exactly what is needed...
At any rate, I am looking forward to laying on the driveway of the Red Rock (intentionally) pretty soon and looking at some skids.![]()
