Custom Skid PLate

[Pack]

2001ExpSport, how did you attach the Safari Bar to the frame? Was it difficult?

Thanks.

 

[2001ExpSport]

I bolted it right to the frame. It was a little tight, but not too hard.

do u have to drill hole on that part at the bottom of the truck? aint it tough to do since it is so think? i looked at mine yesterday and one thing came to my mine... "what if i drill the whole and it dont fit?". any suggestions?

 

[2001ExpSport]

Thanks fixer, no it doens't fit.

Swak, It's not very thick and all you need to do is drill a hole the size of the bolt. Measure twice, drill once.

is the diamond plate bendable, and where did you get it.

 

[2001ExpSport]

Yes it is bendable and I got it a a local hardware store. Home Depot doesn't carry it. I think Menard's does though.

all the home depots around here carry diamond plate. usually no bigger than about 24" x 24" though. maybe just a location thing?

 

[BoatsRcool]

so if its bendable, and i could figure out a way to attach it to my car, then its not hard to make a skid plate with it?

Boats, If you have never worked with sheet metal before you may have a hard time. When I say it's bendable, I mean that it can be done with the right tools and knowledge. This is also custom type job, so each job is going to be different. If you want to install one on your truck you need to take look at the area and decide where it will be mounted and how it will be mounted. The you need to determine the shape and where you plan to bend it. Once you bend this type of metal, it doesn't bend back nicely. Your set up is also going to be a lot different on your 92.

Jason, must be a per Depot thing, because one way out of town has some. Most of them around the city don't carry it. I have seen sheets as big as 2'x4', but they are expensive.
