What do you want fabricated for your VX?

[VX KAT]

I have the Kilby skid plates and they're great but were around $650, are super heavy, and dont allow any heat to escape the tranny. I have been thinking about making some full skids that aren't solid metal but welded railing to allow protection and air flow. They wont protect as well as solid skid plates but will have many other benefits including a signifcantly cheaper price.

Orion (Greg) custom made some skids exactly like that and him and Jack (pbkid) installed them on Jack's VX in Moab 5/09. Jack has since sold his VX, but maybe he and Greg have pics.

I looked at em at Moab, they were a tubing design, so if you were to get hung up, and those tubes flexed....you get the idea. I want something, god forbid Justin (Zeus) reads this, like the Jeep shovel, only not so shovelish. Something that goes from the first cross member to the front, but not a skid plate, maybe a complete removal of the useless cross member and something a little lower to take the brunt of the undercarriage hits. Nevermind, I have about 20 feet of 3/8" 2x2 angle iron, I smell a project...after I install the super flexy IFS kit, paid for today, install the replacement SS brake line and rear EBC brake pads, the new inclinometer, front low pro bump stops, ball joint flip, rhino line hood insert, fenders and front bumper, install foglights...damn, and I still have to lift the RS, install rancho 9000s, ball joint swap, new CV boots, CB in the RS and F250, stereo in the RS, modify Racetrim kids car seats, all by 20 OCT. Oh, and do statistics and English Comp HW for the next 4 weeks in preparation for my Uwharrie and KC, MO trip. This sucks.

Back to the topic. How about you fab me a robot to do all this menial labor, one that speaks English please....
