possum Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 So I mounted a factory skid and a bed mount tire carrier on my truck. Here are some pics. But first a few poser shots. :D Now, The skid plate fresh from the yard Cleaned it up a bit and welded in a tube Paint And in place Now for the cheap A$$ tire carrier The carrier is rock solid. All in all I am satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaekl Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 It looks like the factory skid plate protects the tie rod or is it to keep branches from popping up into the radiator? I quess some projectile headed for the oil pan would be deflected down into the axle. Hopefully below it. Or is it to simply slide (skid) over a rock? I can see why you add the reinforcement. Never mind it looks like I anwered my own question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
