Guess the sliders were not wide enough catch that tree/rock... Bummer. As I tell my friends, I don't mind trail striping or even scratched/dinged rims or bumpers (since they're steel), but I will not tolerate buckled body panels.
I just got a door ding the other day getting gas, and I'm going to get that fixed ASAP!
Again, sorry to see any GX with dents.

No worries, I am fortunate to have a good friend who is also one of the top dent guys in town. Should have that fixed up in no time.Guess the sliders were not wide enough catch that tree/rock...

Got my front skid installed. this one is steel, the remaining skids I will most likely purchase in aluminum

There's a thread on here with some thrashed RCI aluminum skids. I went full steel RCI, all the way back. I think front of gas tank is about the breakover point. Sorry about the dent.

That is the thread that convinced me to do the front skid in steel. However, I think past that main impact point the rest of the skids would be just fine in aluminum.

The solar panels from the front kind of look like eyebrows so my buddy sent me this photo
And I did the front bumper cut
I took pictures along the way if anyone wants more on the bumper cut
