I stopped by Bent Motorsports in San Marcos (where we did the last safety inspection) and spoke to Dave about making some skid plates for the 80 series. Yes, there are multiple vendors currently selling some but shipping can add $100+ due to freight charges. And pursuing a local shop helps our community.
Current plan a bolt on skid plate that protects the transmission pan and transfer case and does not replace the transmission mount. It will be completely bolt on with additional supports both fore and aft and made out of 1/4” steel. Looking at pictures online for ideas with Dave we think this should be very easy to produce.
It would be laser cut, bent, and welded. He mentioned powder coating but I said that I wasn’t interested, painted only.
Price will be determined by the amount of interest. The more units wanted the lower we can get the price, but plan anywhere from $180-280ish.
Jeff has volunteered for the use of his truck for mock up.
