This pic came out kind of neat, first time I used the night setting on the camera. You can see that its dark in the other pics, but in this one, it looks daylight.

Wow, I must have pissed off just about everyone, no comments at all? Anyway, today is skidplate day. I am first making a front crossmember out of 2x3 1/4" angle iron. That will put it lower than the oil pan, and since I dented it last time out, I am surprised I didn't do this long ago. Stupid design. I already have the same piece up front across the where the factory tow hook frame mounts are. That will give me a nice flat, level mounting surface for the lower plate. I am also going to weld a crossbar across the bumper frame adapters. That will give the aluminum a much stronger backing. This thing should be two pieces as I see it. I will post up some pics as I move along.
