Added another custom panel to the collection. This one inside the center console. Going to replace the element fire "extinguisher" with something at the bottom of the drivers seat that will actually work for a fire.

Still working on a few tweaks but finally got an aluminum one cut. Going to add a bend to the front lip of the skid as I work on the next one from the front cross member to the bumper.

Nope I actually use my rigs. I'm also slowly working on a full belly pan and actual sliders to replace the step bars as it's only a matter of time before I stuff one of those into the rocker

Took a bad line and just about landed on it. Its the same thickness and the JT and Wrangler LCA mount and those get bent quite easily. The skid is to help reinforce the mount and fill in the open area under the bolt preventing a rock from getting between the mount and the end of the control...

After my last trip out been thinking about building some skid plates for the frame side LCA skids would any one else be interested in a set if I were to start making them. Pardon the rust on the frame road slat sucks. The white outline is the rough idea for the location of the plate with the...

ARB or Maxtrax straps

Had some time today before family gets in for the holidays. Got the skid mounted need to make a few tweaks and chase the threads for one of the factory inserts. Overall happy with the fit and coverage. Next up getting it made in metal then working on the rest of the belly skid and one from...

My issue right now is that my brake can't make that tight of a C bend with the aluminum stock I have been using for these panels. Playing with some ideas in the 3D modeling software I have and talking to my neighbor who owns a wrought iron fence company if they know anyone who has some...

Got my first prototype diff skid in from my water jet cutting. Making sure everything lines up the way I want before moving to metal. This is 1/4 HPDE. it will become my sacrifice plate once I get a metal one made.

I'll play around with a few ideas in CAD this coming week to see what might work now that the extended family has all left from Thanksgiving. Also this is the current driver's side setup I'm running. Small bag for my EDC stuff I don't want in my pockets when driving. Rescue knife with glass...

Finally had some time to install my 36 Degrees North Overland 1/2 inch front spacer. These are designed more for the snap ring adjustable front shocks so you can run less preload on the spring but still keep the lift height. I plan on running 5100s down the road but wanted to see how these...

I'll look into seeing if i have the right dies for my press brake to make it. would then need a set bolt to keep it from sliding around and coming out when removing items from it

Yes 3 are into dead space one does extend into the map pocket area might replace it with a short bolt but so far haven't had an issue with it. I do keep folded paper maps in there depending on the trip.

I am just finishing up my design drawings and bend profile for a front diff skid will start working on the bumper to diff skid next. I dont like the large open area of the RCI if you are not running the air dam and a stock bumper. For me whats the point of adding real skid plates then leaving...

It's a 6x12 panel with a standard molle spacing
