Starting to get fat!

She’s still purdy though

 

Skids are lookin good…

Post a pic of the 4Runner with the skids when you get a chance…

 

I will, I am just learning how to re~size my photo’s. To upload to this site.
I can turn a wrench, but this damn little phone I don’t know.

RCI steel skids, installed the engine skid today. One man operation. Truck flat on the ground. Just stacked 3 2”x 6” boards under truck. Put skid on the boards, lifted up the back of skid started the 2 rear bolts. Went up front lifted up and started the 2 front bolts. I am glad I did not take the time on the jackstands or ramp.

Transmission and transfer case skids tomorrow.

I need to find the courage to do the gas tank skid this week.

 

Westcott sliders

DOM, tig weld, 0 degree,

Again easy install

 

looks amazing. i wish they made a full plate! i like the slotted look but afraid the kiddos feet might slip in the gaps.

 

I would love a full plate, only because I have OCD, and would think they would keep splash back to minimum.

 

I was gonna warn you to have the sliders DuraGuarded or similar to avoir rust. powder-coating doesn't hold up very well to snow/salt.
Which is when I saw you're in AZ. I think you're good to go LOLOL

 

Nice! Should be getting mine in a week or so, their welds are killer. Just move the e brake line and slap em on, yea? Any chance you got a pic bolted on the frame? Just wanna take the guessing out of which holes to line up too lol.

 

Damn...so disappointed. Thought this was gonna be a thread about BBW's doing calisthenics while eating rice crispy treats

Gas tank skid is probably the easiest to put on

 

Wow I have been censored!!!!!

 

Damn bolts for the back of the engine skid not long enough, to go through engine skid, tranny skid and spacer, hardware store tomorrow!

My bad!! I should have read the destructions first. Oh wait there weren’t any. I put the long bolts into the center of engine skid instead of the rear. Swapped them. All is good.

Engine skid is on, Tranny skid is on.

Transfer case skid tomorrow. I am pacing myself. No hurries no worries.

 

Definitely no confusion as to which holes to use. I would chase them first just to make life easier, because you do want to make sure you start every one by hand, passenger side rear brake line was rubbing on the gusset, but just simple bend of the retaining bracket gave good clearance. Oh and do remove all the plastic plugs that would be under the mounting plates.

 

I hope, I am a little challenged with lifts and tools. All in storage many miles away.
I could see where my motorcycle lift would be perfect to position gas tank skid, but I will just need to use a little ingenuity.

 

My family and I full time for work in a 5th wheel camper. So all of my work is outside in gravel usually. I put brackets on tank skid and layed on ground with skid on top me directly under the tank. Worked out pretty good

 

Wish I could do I was skinny!!!!
