sure do. They pass through 1/2 round holes in the rockers and are gusseted and welded to the rails near the top.

I tried to make it to look as close as possible to the stock step, but with the stoutness of a rock skid.

:eek: Man that is AWESOME CLEAN work man....nice to have friends like you :D

Hey Jason H...send this link to Skeetshooter, he needs to see that skidplate!

I like the transfercase:D

What gearbox is infront of the transfer case? I like the skid plate more then the one I made...how much?

looks awesome!

That would be a gearbox section of a NP203 mated to a Warden's Billet case...

looks good nice job heres to your work:beer:

not bad for a star trek freak. :D
me thinks jeff to be one happy man when he picks it up.
If you dont mind I may swing over there at lunch and check it out in person before its gone.

did luis tell you Im gonna buy his hard top, since the other dude flaked

Fawkin Bitchin !

As usual, nice work FC ! You are an artist !

That deserves a brewski ! :beer:

Right awn!!!
Now all you need is another set of flares ;)

Nice work!!!

How thick is that bottom plate? In the photo is looks like 1/2" steel plate!

One trick on mounting it up against the frame on those "U" sections. Make the U mounts a little wider... and shim with shims made from a plastic milk jug. When it gets bent (I really don't think that one will bend... mind you), but if it is tweaked and near impossible to remove... a little acetone will desolve the plastic... and the "U" drops off. Just 0.020" is all that is needed.

actually the bottom plate is 1/4" welded to the 1 1/8" tube and the "U" shaped pieces are 3/8 x 2" and they are mounted with 1/2 grade 8's

I will try the plastic thing, thanks:beer:

Nice and clean, Don!

Morgan

Do you have any better pics of the nerf bars/rock sliders? And any other angles? I want to built some that have the same look as the stock step also. What are the specs on them?

Sean

That fawkin looks bad ass. I knew you did great work but shit that just blows me away. That kicks ass. Hey Don with that quality of work i see you getting swamped with all kinds of work . :bounce2: :bounce: As far as now i will be there friday, that way you can get started on the next project. Thanks again Jeff:)

They should have shipped last thurs..

Hey fc187, I really like your t-case skid. If you don't mind I'd like to use some (all) of your design ideas. The only extra I would add are plates on the sides so the bars dont get hung up;)

knock your self out.

I considered plating the sides, but I didnt want to block all access to the t-case for "routine maint." The bottom has an access hole for the drain, and I left the sides open to fight with linkage, tighten bolts and check fluids without having to remove the plate.

I can see where it would help on a "comp" rig though. I look forward to seeing your improvements. After all, improvements is what this is all about :beer:

sorry, I dont have any more pics :(

I had to bum the cam to take the pics that I posted on the comp that I also bummed:D

I am a BUM:D

actually its just 2" .120tube bent at 90's, one leg is a little longer than the other. 1/8" steel DP just welded to the top, butted up to the rockers.

if I pop more pics I will send them your way. PM me a reminder
