I just got my transmission skid in the mail this week from ASFIR and will be doing a more in depth installation guide. Stay tuned.

What was shipping and how long did it take for you to get it?

Took 7 days from ordering
Shipping was $19
If they don’t have them in stock and have to produce it will take longer

And it sounds like they are going to be making them for the US 100 series this year so I would just wait for that announcement

Thanks for the info.
 
Does anyone have the details on the required bolts to mount the front skid or the stock?

I plan on getting the Asfir skid but I need to know what bolts to buy since mine are currently missing, along with the OEM skid.
 
Looks like Slee has some good info on their skid instructions:

The ASFIR front plate only has the front 3, single middle, and rear 2 bolt positions. I'd say it's about 2/3 the length of the Slee front plate judging from the pictures.

Talked to Leonard as ASFIR a week or two ago and he said to keep an eye on the website for US 100 (petrol) specific pieces "in about six weeks". So I am holding off on ordering their transfer case skid.

Thanks for the additional information.

In regards to petrol specific pieces, will that mean there is anything different on the front skid? Or just the other two pieces?

Can't imagine there is anything to change on the front skid.

The one I got couldn't have been a better fit, and also has been listed right along as fitting the US trucks.

Sounds good. Thanks.

Leonard actually just confirmed that for me via email, as well. Pretty cool that the petrol versions of the other plates are coming soon!

Following for updates on petrol-specific versions of the other two skids.

me too. And shipping cost reports—I thought their website, which says $19 shipping to usa for everything, was serious, and I thought that was kind of insane.
Simultaneously reassured and discouraged to know it costs more.

I ordered the front skid, recieved it in about a week (Right as Corona was gaining traction outside of China) and yeah, I only paid $19 for shipping. From what Leonard said, shipping time depends on what customs location yours comes in at. Some can take longer. I used the stock bolts for mine, but I'd pay attention to the torque specs from Slee. I hadn't seen them and popped the weld nut on one of the locations. It's still solid as heck with 3 bolts. I do wish the center bolt they include was about 1/4" longer. I can't get it to get in the threads. Going to try a floor jack to push the skid up a little more and hope that it reaches.
 
Anyone mount the front skid to a Slee Bumper and Diff Drop yet? I think I'll either be doing some bending or thicker spacers...Super fast delivery from Asfir and well packaged
