Hi, thanks for that!!I just installed the ASFIR engine and transfer case skids. It wasn't too bad, but they only give you a drawing, not instructions. A few simple tips would make it much easier.
The transfer case is a piece of cake. Pretty self explanatory.
The engine skid you should do the following:
1. remove the front cross brace, save the bolts. You use one of them to mount the rear of the engine skid.
2. Install the 2 front brackets. Leave a little play in them.
3. To install the front driver side bracket, bend the extension arm on the bolt holder they provide which goes inside the frame. The bend allows you to align it to match the angle of the bolt coming through the bracket into the frame.
4. Install the skid plate starting with the two rear bolts. (I rested it on a cardboard box to support it near the final position.
5. Attach the front 2 brackets to the skid.
6. Tighten all bolts.
For the weight and price these seem great. I tow behind a motorhome so I didn't want to add 200 pounds for a full skid system. These two pieces protect the most vulnerable parts.
