Dang! I appreciate the offer though; it definitely would have made that one PITA bolt much easier

Installed victory 4x4 engine and transmission skids. Went with 1/4 inch aluminum. I don’t plan to rock crawl but consider this rig more rugged overland campaigning machine. But knowing it can push the limits is a good feeling. I installed the skids using ramps in my garage. Was quite the workout trying to hold the skids with one forearm and my knees laying on my back. Thankfully the boss helped hold the two rear transmission skid bolts while I got the nuts in place. Know that I learned the tricks of doing it pretty easy to remove and reinstall when needed. Oh also greased the drive shaft while was out under. I got super lucky that front zero just happened to be in the right location while it was on the ramps. 3 pumps in each. I have the gas tank skid from victory coming just hasn’t arrived yet. Shipping was free and they come well packaged. So far very happy with them.
On a whim, installed a dog seat cover I found on Amazon, it was only $35 and the dimensions seem to fit the LC perfectly. Hope my dog enjoys it.

Removed all the skid plates to properly clean and grease everything. Also to make it easier to look everything over and figure out what's giving the 200 a wiggle
She's a big girl to be bending skids like that!

New Victory 4x4 universal shelf added yesterday. Surprisingly up and out of the way in the rearview mirror, and super solid build!

Is this purely a Kaon copy? Not knocking an American company getting in on the cruiser parts.
Looks super solid. Can you provide a rearview mirror pic?
What is the distance from the roof to the bottom of the rack? And the distance from the floor to the rack for good measure?
Trying to see how it compares to the Kaon measurements.

May guess is that it is about the same.

Victory 4x4 rear shelf
I was looking to get a Kaon cargo shelf, but saw that Victory 4x4 offers one too, made in the US, and their owner is a 'mud member, so I picked one up. It arrived quickly and was well packaged, with several expanding foam packs so everything arrived safe and sound. I had previously replaced my...

Thank you!
Looks like the Kaon shelf is a bit taller (175mm) vs. the Victory shelf (157mm). Good to know on all accounts, depending on whether you're looking for more room in the shelf area vs. the back area below the shelf.
Mind sharing a link? That looks really nice.

I have this one in one of my vehicles. Dogs can't slide onto the floor when I'm on the brakes.
