I could be easily talked into a skid plate for the 95. It is currently doing a really nice stink bug - as the first stage of the build is complete - OME.

On the plate being close to the TC. It needs at least 1/2" of space. On my 60 the plate was up close and tight, then one rock later it was rubbing. I ignored it for a bit and now have a couple shallow grooves in my TC. Also I bent the 1/4" plate wings on my rear bumper. Things happen on the trail that result in some really strange bends and dents in places you'd never think of.

On this version we'll call it 1.0 there were a couple of issues that I would have handled a bit differently had it been on my rig or had I been able to messure once and cut longer the second time . I think that version 1.2 will be much more symetrical as well as coming out quite a bit cleaner. Not that there is actually anything wrong with 1.0 just a couple of minor things that I'd improve on the second time around.

We have recently started the Jefferson State Cruisers and I left an open invitation to our members that if they want to pay for materials I would love to assist them in whatever fabrication they are looking to make happen. We can be found in the TLCA Forum/Clubhouse or by clicking on the link in my signature line.

Enough advertising, please feel free to post up with any questions or PM me.
