Hey all, just wanted to provided a write up on BudBuilt Skid plate install. Wasn't difficult when I took time to slow down and thing it out instead of just attacking it. Hoping this will help someone else out in the future that is trying to wrench on their 200, but like me and getting into wrenching more than just oil changes and brakes.
I had the stage 4 skid plate kit which includes:
-Cross member
-Gas tank skid
-Transfer case skid
-Transmission skid
-Engine skid
-Front skid
Tools used:
-basic hand tools (10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, 9/16)
-2 jack stands
-floor jack
-4 ramps
-a friend
First thing I did was remove all my factory skids, here are all the pictures, I started at the front and worked my way back on the rig.
The transfer case skid came off as well, quite a few bolts all around the transfercase that required to be removed, then put the bolts back to fill the holes.
