Just finished making a transmission skid plate. I wanted to maintain maximum ground clearance and make a skid that was easy to install/remove. Had a piece of scrap 3/16" steel plate out in the shop, so it was the chosen one. Used M8 10.9 bolts and weld nuts to attach the new plate to the...

Removed the factory light, didn't break it but did bend one of the metal clips as others have mentioned, simply bent the clip back into shape. New light install was straight forward, but be careful because the three plug pins are easy to bend since they're fairly long and not captured by...

You've got one helluva drive to Windrock! Assuming you're referring to the Windrock in TN. If so, let me know if you run into any problems, we're a couple hours away near Nashville, but I have contacts all over to help out in a pinch.

Nope, I tightened them down as much as possible while still being able to barely move them. They’re aimed and solid.

Nope, we have the bottle bag so I can run a ratchet strap through the bag handle. That plate is nice, but I’ll never own one for that price….. I just keep the Element in the glove box for now, I may eventually mount it.

Ours will be here in a couple days, guess it's about time to go out wrestle the factory light.

So far, this is "The List" that I've either completed or working on, this should get us to an acceptable starting point for the type of trail riding / exploring that we're planning on doing. This will be a very mild build. I'm using site sponsors whenever possible. Chaos Concepts Buckin'...

Decided to add some tie rod sleeves to the mix, went with Chaos Concepts Buckin' Barz -

Onto cross member skids, I went with RCI for the cross member skids, also have their pinch weld covers to install and 20 degree sliders are currently being built. These skids were simple to install and are rock solid, very nice work.

Next up were Barnes 4WD rear shock mount skids, they have a really solid, well fabricated product.

First order of business were lights up front. Decided on Diode Dynamics bumper pocket lights w/ KR Off-Road flush brackets (SS3 Max White SAE Fog / SS2 Pro White Combo / SS2 Pro White Spot) from 4x4TruckLEDs. I routed the harness up through the headlight opening and used some clear tubing and...

Just installed mine. Took about 15 minutes total.....14 of which were me trying to get the nut on the drivers side under the exhaust with my sausage fingers :ROFLMAO: . Very nice, solid product.

I'm thinking the same thing, use this one for normal use and put the IAG's only on an upfitter for when we really need a lot of light.

From their website: Direct bolt on addition to existing mounting locations, no drilling required Although there were some early models that were missing one hole that would have to be drilled if it isn't there from the factory, this is explained on the second page in the directions...

I figured with the smaller lights, them being recessed may not be as big of a deal.

To space the light brackets out away from the tire mount far enough such that the lights align with the holes in the wheel.

I was thinking that I could use spacers to adjust the mounting position of the brackets if needed.

I like this! I'm planning on purchasing the Diode Dynamics Stage Series Reverse Light kit with SS1 Pro's from 4x4TruckLEDs, but instead of using their mounting bracket, mounting them like you did inside the spare. I'll likely have to extend the harness a little between the lights, but that's...

Just placed an order for the cross member skids.
