UPDATE: new skid plate... they are now for sale through badland bumpers... apparently I can’t make a thread for them because it gets deleted so this is me saying they are available now to whom it may concern...

Very Nice I want!

I assume this is the site Badland Bumpers, bumper, home cannot find anything on the skid. What are they getting for them?

 

[wtmtnterror]

Yeah I need one! Group buy?

Same question as from group buy that I never saw answer to, for 93 to 94 skids will the holes line up or do I have to cut new holes for drain

Currently do not have a 93-94 truck to use as a jig, could do one without cut outs for someone to cut themselves until we get a truck of that year in the shop.

Can be made in a few different varieties as well!

I checked the website, didn't see it. Do you think they'll still make one of these front bumpers?

To say this thread is a bit out dated is an understatement... but here’s some filler pics, added 16in travel coil overs to rear, just switched to 42in MTRs and aluminum pro comp beadlocks, steering box from red head, and I’m sure I’m missing a lot... oh yeah and back halved/ caged it. And maybe a new front bumper

Now it looks almost stock
Nice attention to the details
Look super capable! Let see some action pictures
Where you forced to cut the back?

 

[bajaphile]

Wow, nice work!

 

[baldilocks]

Beautiful example of the level an 80 can be taken too. I think selling it is a mistake when it sits there begging for a V8/Atlas/tons.

 

[nukegoat]

Neat. What's with the cage geometry, though? No B pillar support, either?

Not required to cut the back just seemed like a good idea at the time

Cage is not finished

 

[nukegoat]

Cage is not finished

But what's with the tubes just terminating in the middle of a span like that?

 

[Apounder]

Few updated pics with beadlocks, 42s, and new steering box! Crazy how it feels with new box, drives like a new car.

 

[cruisermatt]

put the tube bender and notcher down for a second and read up on nodes and how they work.. and then cut all that back half out and re do it with half the material (footprint and weight!) and double the strength and rigidity
