Thanks for the pics. Did you bend the shaft on that little bar of skid you left between the hole you cut and the u-shape cut?

I removed my stock skid today, and will leave it off until I get an after market driveshaft. I thank you for the warning!

Your pics are pretty good, but when you do your write up a pic zoomed out would put it in perspective, maybe with something like a ruler near the cut would help us out.

Thanks
