Anyone tried fabbing one up yet? At first glance, it doesnt appear that it would that difficult.

If not, any vendors making something like this?

 

i think its going to be harder than you think..

but I head Fulltraction has something in the works with the long arm.. we shall see!

 

When you start fabbing stuff it ALWAYS is... Any specific reason(s) you think so?

 

well, the gas tank skids going to be bitch to roll the corner if you want to make it stock appearance. Then to tie it into the tranny skid. Also if your doing this, you might wanna put the engine skid in as well.

Plus, if you plan on running a long arm. it depends on how that connects to the frame. most lift companies are doing this different. Its to much for me.(my fab skills, i have none) I'd rather leave it to the pro's.

 

I saw that Kilby has an under body skid comming out too. Not sure when. There are pics in the 4wd & su mag.

 

You're going to be trapping an awful lot of heat under there if your exhaust is above your skids, especially when you're on the trial going one mile per hour all day. Venting is going to be important.

I don't know about the 2 door but on the 4 door the exhaust is in the back. Not a factor for a belly skid.

 

Agreed.

To be clear for everyone, when I say a "belly skid" i mean the area between the front and rear axles. Anything forward of the front and rear of the rear axle is a different problem.
