Extension was going on today, but I used my new impact to take out the original skid plate and I think I screwed up the threads….if not me, then the oil change guys. Tomorrow we tap and try again with RCI skids.
 
So I got my RCI engine skid on today, and don’t see how this would work with it. Do you have pics of the mounting surface? I may need to drill holes in the filler plate where the front of the RCI skid mounts….

The skid extension was only tested with the stock skid plate.

On the stock skid setup, those 2 mounting points are not used therefore the skid extension can utilize them. It appears that RCI skid adds a lot of bulk to that area unfortunately.

This is the skid plate tester:

Bummer. Looks like it’s time to drill some holes!
