Jan 29 Bought Rugged Ridge tire carrier and order metalcloak 3.5 gamechanger. Got an email saying suspension will be shipped 1-2 weeks from now. Also picked up a set of rubicon fenders from a friend for more clearance.

Everything will get installed when suspension gets here. Also bought a Midlan 275 to go gmrs replacing my cobra 75 I took out of my Jk l. Just waiting for license to go down to $35 from $70 since it was announced beginning of this year.

Still to come:
As of right now metalcloak is the only one that makes a full skid for diesel but is steel and I am being a snob on weight with this one. Talked to artec and they said their aluminum skid for the diesel should be released here in the next few months so that will be ordered when it released.

My winch is just sitting in the garage that was taken off my Jk so I am on the hunt for a front bumper I like.

Everything sitting in the garage waiting for suspension to get here so I can install :)

Did Artec give any details on the skids? I'm looking at the metalcloak ones as well for my diesel. Nice build so far btw!

Thanks

They said it’s their fully belly skid + def. full belly includes oil pan, trans, gas tank. They emailed me last Tuesday saying they’re almost done with design and should be ready for sale in a few months. MC skid weights 235 lb according to their site. Alum should weight under 100lb so that’s something to consider.

Anybody have clever ideas for arb single compressor mount? Looking to install arb lockers. I don’t want it inside and the popular mounting location under the hood is occupied by the windshield washer res in the diesel
