Installing fiberglass type skid plates -need ADVICE/HELP!

Thanks for the tip Earl. I have a plate cover too and that's definitely making the problem even worse. I'll give HD a try - were you able to buy them individually, or did you have to buy a 50-pack a la Fastenal?

IIRC it was a pack of about 5...I bought the 45s and the 50s and ended up using the 45s on the bottom and the 50s on the top. The bottom was tough to get lined up and I used the 50s at first to get it started, tightened it all the way, put a set of vise grips on it, took it off and quickly changed to the 45s. Just too much extra on the end to leave the 50s on the bottom but couldn't get the 45s started...

I got the 40s to work on the bottom but it sure wasn't easy. Good thing Mahalia was "helping" or my neighbors might have heard a LOT of profanity.

50 sounds like the way to go. Btw Sue, 35 is perfect if you don't run a front plate.

Be a shame for Mahalia to hear all that profanity coming from the neighbors...
