    Do you have any issues catching your cladding now. I think if I was to do this I would trim the back cladding and fab a new skid plate (weld it to the existing plate) that would exstend out to the cladding.

    Ive been trying to talk Jon into helping me weld up a little, skid plate/rear bumper combo to protect the gas tank, and keep that spare tire from catching up on big ledges.

    Any interest on that yet Jon?

    No I haven't had any problems hitting the cladding but I have scraped the frame which is exposed from the body lift. I have plans to make some kind of bumper/skid plate to help protect the cladding and tire. I'm really worried about smacking the rear tire on a drop off and tweaking the back door.

    You've boggled my mind Jack, are you talking about the VX or 4runner?
