pulled all the skids plates today and scrubbed them clean and will paint them up tomorrow. i also degreased the complete underside of the truck and scrubbed that also. i plan on painting the whole frame underneath with por15 on saturday


here is a good picture of my skids so you can see how well they have been used. this 3/16" steel is pretty dang beat up!











hit a little speed bump tonight with the panhard bar.

it does not clear the pumpkin. it appears that even a stock panhard bar would not clear it either. i know in one build i saw that currie themselves had to kick out the panhard bar now it appears everyone will have to. i removed my panhard bar and i am taking it to my buddies shop and he is going to throw a few kinks in it to clear the pumpkin, hopefully i will still have room left with the heims after that to still fit if no then we will have to make another panhard bar
