FJ40/45 H.D. Skid Plates

[Downey]

Ok, so I went ahead and built another batch of my Downey heavy duty skid plates, Mud response was righteous, so I now have one (1) left until I build another batch- - -thanks guys and gals.

 

[MOTOV8R]

Nice unit. All bent/stamped with only 2 welded seams. Well designed and made.

 

[Bear]

Looks beefy. Question: how much drop is below the bottom of the vehicle frame to clear components?

 

[76 PTO]

$$$$$$$$ ??????????????

 

[GLSisk]

#76 PTO--Indeed. How much?

 

[MOTOV8R]

Donwey has these for $250. It's a 3" drop. My exhaust and cat run inside the frame, I like having the drop on the driver side so I can move the cat down to reduce some under floor heat. I think I maye add some holes for ventilation.

 

[Downey]

Had discontinued for years (lack of interest), then Mud showed interest, so I recently built a batch, just sold them all in one week. Now needing to know if I should build another batch, or did I fill the demand ?????

 

[FJ40Jim]

That's nice work.
Is this Tech? Or does this belong in Classifieds?
Asking for a friend.

 

[Mopdog]

I still need one. Willing to prepay if you want to do a limited run.

 

[Downey]

Whatever

 

[1MOA]

Will it clear the orion case?

 

[Downey]

It should, they basically have the stock shape.

 

[pbgbottle]

How much wiggle room is there on moving it forward or backwards on the frame rails if need be ? In case transmission/ transfer is not in the stock location

 

[Downey]

Frame rails get closer as they go forward, sooooo my skid plate also has matching side angles (sides slightly angled to match frame angles), so if you go too far forwardly skid plate would be too wide, or too far rearward my skid plate would be too narrow. I think you are ok going 3-4 inches in either direction though.

 

[cruiserkreutz]

Will this fit a 1967 FJ45?

 

[Lil Dog]

Are you going to make anymore? If you do I'll buy one.

 

[Downey]

Yep, I was hoping for a few more orders/interest, but guess I will go ahead and make another batch, should take a couple weeks.- - -stay tuned.

 

[SugarBear]

Would this bolt in on an HJ47 also (Troopy if that matters)?

 

[Mopdog]

I’m in for one this time.

 

[Downey]

Mopdog, I already have you on the list, and now also Lil Dog.
SugarBear, should fit your HJ47, you decide, it's 29.93" wide at the front edge, 32.98" wide at the rear edge, and it has zero bolt holes, you drill to fit your frame.
