    Engine Bay Pictures (non-VVTI)

    That helps immensely - I'll have to refer to these pics when I undo the manifold again and replace the pigtail and sensor. Thank you! Just not looking forward to it as my back was hurting for 2 days after the starter job lol...

    Engine Bay Pictures (non-VVTI)

    :rofl: My engine bay is far from pristine. It's simply stock as it's my grocery getter! I would believe the bolts would be different seeing as how the manifold is composite versus cast. I appreciate it though! Awesome I do appreciate it. Basically a picture from each side of the engine...

    Engine Bay Pictures (non-VVTI)

    If someone would be as kind as to help me out with a specific request. I recently went through the ordeal of replacing my original starter after having worked on a few other things. My question is, can anyone with a non-VVTI GX470 take a few pictures of the tops of the bolts holding the...

    Use cardboard and make a template yourself, then you'll have your dimensions. Get a fab shop, or even a member on this group to knock one out for ya real quick.

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Coming back to this - I had ordered this u bolt through Pacific Trailers in a size they already sell 6 1/8" x 3" x 1/2" Again, just to be clear the size will not work as there is not enough length on the threads. Looking around, I'd say the safest bet is using this store - 1/2 Inch Diameter...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Thank you for these! So, my u bolt carries a 6 3/16" opening at the bend but seems to have one leg angled causing the bend to close up to 6 1/16" at the threads Whoever was working the machinery went a bit too far and expected much more bend back possibly However with a 2 11/16" width, this u...

    Tons of people clicking this thread since updating it lol hopefully it works out but if it's a bad design let me know Regardless, I forgot I had purchased this custom "u bolt" as I got the idea from another manufacturer using one of these However, I couldn't confirm it on my own rig since I...

    Skid plate DXF anyone? Update - made my own

    Haven't been here in awhile, but saw I had received several message requests for this file set for my skid so thought I'd upload the DXF for y'all Please refer to the first page cardboard cutout as I had scribed some sort of info for the bend lines, otherwise I suggest using cardboard as I...

    Slider Info

    Sub-par work, welds were ugly all around. Had them on my LC, I'd just make my own next time as I was close to cutting parts of it off and redoing some of the work. Would make a ton of noise and rattle as it would be too close to everything else.
