Here's your skid plate.

These parts will be heading to the powder coaters on Thursday the 5th. Should have them back in about 2 weeks...just in time for NECO! $\:D/$

:-k Hmmmm.....those look quite nice. What would something like that cost shipped to California?

LiftedAWDAstro · Post by **LiftedAWDAstro** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 12:45 am

Each rail is in the 70# range and are 76" long. Plus there are 4 other mounts that weigh probably 25# total. I have never looked into shipping them simply due to the weight. Also the price would have to go up significantly from what I am charging Cobra. I just ordered more 2" square steel and it a little over $5 a foot! ](*,) With powder coating and the steel, I have around $300 into each set. That doesn't even begin to count the 16 - 20 hours to build. The steel has doubled in price from a year ago.

I will be posting the basic specs on here in the next couple weeks so anyone who wants to try and build a set will be able to do so.

i'm so excited i was doing a little trail driving on sunday and the belly of my van was almost on the ground at some points made me a tad bit uncomfortable but it was just loose dirt and mud so wasn't too worried

Once these are installed, the only thing to keep an eye on will be the gas tank!

man this van is eatting all my money...... so many parts i wanna install

btw what's more important to replace gear box, hub or cv shaft

LiftedAWDAstro · Post by **LiftedAWDAstro** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 1:25 pm

Gear box? Do you mean steering gear box? If so that is a little more important, then it's the hub and then the CV shaft.

i was hoping you wouldn't say that one it looks like the most painfull to do....

LiftedAWDAstro · Post by **LiftedAWDAstro** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 1:33 pm

Why do you need to replace it?

Cobra · Post by **Cobra** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 1:36 pm

the play in my streering is horrible.... i'm going to try to tighten tghat stupid screw but i don't see anyway to get in there without taking my bumber cover off at least

LiftedAWDAstro · Post by **LiftedAWDAstro** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 4:35 pm

The screw is accessible from underneath. No need to remove the bumper cover. It is tight, but it is possible. If you wait until we install the skid plate we can do it then.
