Bud Built armor question

[amgraham]

I was wondering how you connect all the pieces of the Budbuilt together? Weld or Bolt?

i dont think it is needed the front skid runs to the rear of the a arms (that's where all the important stuff is)

I'm calling Bud tomorrow to see if he recieved the bellys so he can ship all 3 pieces to me. I wonder if they come with bolts? I know I have to purchase the bolts for the Sonoran Steel IFS Trruss.

For the Budbuilt stuff, you reuse your crossmember to frame bolts, everything else Bud provides.

Currently on a thread on another board I showed my install and needed to add some hardware that worked better, also I forgot to remove the stock t-case skid guard prior to install which made it vibrate bad. Well then it started to vibrate in reverse so then I added a 3/16 or so piece of flat steel with length of 23" and hole drilled at 17", 11 1/2" and 6" so that to match his pattern for the rear. Then I loosened the bolts and inserted my spacer so to speak and I will let you know how it turns out.

wow. I haven't ever heard of anyone having any vibration problems, but that's an awsome fix to the problem. I really need to get a house with a garage so I can do things of this nature too. Do let me know how it turns out and maybe you could mention it to Bed and he could add the spacer or make it an option if this kind of problem occurs to others.
