Roll Me Over
Tag,

I can make one.
It would be a variation on the one I've got now, extended to make it easier on the frame.
It's the larger one in back in this image.

This is the 4cyl frame. I'd need some careful measurements to check that the 6cyl is the same.

Email me...

It is a no, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> but the reason is this, My rig is different because of my drive train. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Yes, I've seen Dons skids, but to try to make one from memory, and for a rig that I've never seen, or worked on would just be next to impossible without very concise patterns.
My skid plates are huge, and cover the entire bottom of the rig, between the frame rails. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
In a few months I will have a very tough t-case skid for a 4cyl available, if anyone needs it.

This cross member was rebuilt, for some other mods. So whoever wants the skid would probably have to make some new mounts for it.

Two MRI's and a CAT scan....it's confirmed. I'm just not right in the head.

I'm rebuilding using the old ones as a template. I am using 1/4 inch and because of a few mods (truck cab on Raider frame) I can tuck some stuff up in between the frame. With the SAS I'll be able to make some better mods to have better protection. I am going to look for another diesel engine as the 360 IMO will be a dose to fit.


always working

Well.....I'll have a good 2.6 motor, auto tranny and t-case. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Motor with about 50,000 miles?
Also have a Dana 44 front axle, and a couple of custom driveshafts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
And I'm sure there will be some other good stuff to get rid of too.
