Install looks straight forward. Two holes need to be drilled to install the engine skid. I bought everything but the rad skid. I may get that at a later time. I wanted to cover everything at one time. Shrock as well as NXrocks offer a discount if you order 3 or more skids at one time. Money well spent for piece of mind.
I believe Shrock will powdercooat them for a fee, but everyone I've talked to say to just spray them yourself as they will get scratched up and you'll have to repaint them occasionally to keep them from rusting. Wipe them down with acetone, then I'm gonna prime them, then spray them with a silver hammertone type paint. A little bling for the underside!! I'll put up some pics when I'm done.
I'll give u a call Saturday. And yes regarding Wharton!!!
Hey now, I picked up a rear diff skid plate along with the other toys. I painted that along with my new shocks, UCA's and Idler arm brace with Rustoleum black hammered. You can use the Rustoleum hammered directly on the metal if you want to cut out a step and if you scuff the metal before cleaning with some fine sandpaper, it will stick better 4 ya. Just did the last coat on everything today.
you are going to love doing that once or twice a year.....
Aw c-mon, you're gonna' let a little thing like heavy rain get in the way :moon: ? You want me to take the bus over (since my truck is still out of order) with my waterproof camera and my ramps ? We can drive your truck up on them and snap away while getting soaked in this crazy rain.
