Got my Shrockworks Skidplates all done!

Prepped, primed and painted on Friday, Installed on Saturday.

Got them all mounted. Had a talk with Jim about revising his instructions a bit. He doesn't specify any order to put the skids on.

I put the T-Case skid on first, then when I went to mount then engine skid, it wouldn't line up correctly because it was butting up against the Tcase skid.

I had to remove and reinstall in the opposite order, and *luckily* all the holes still lined up ok since they are slotted for movement. Some of the bolts are at the ends of slots though, so no room for error.

Put the front skid on last, and viola c'est fini.

(I already had the Calmini Gas tank skid on)

How the heck to you get those on and off?? They still line up correctly?

I drive over a giant magnet to get them off.

To get them back on, I put the magnet back in the truck, and drive over them again.

:D

The gas skid is pretty much aligned.

The rest of them are so out of alignment, it takes a BFH/BFCB to gently coax them into position as needed for maint.

I use a lot of extensions in other words.

:D

In comparison to Anthony's rear end, yours seems well traveled
