Motobilt Show and Tell

[rustyshakelford]

We are fixing to make a large motobilt order for skids, f/r bumpers, armor, tire carries and more and was wanting to see what all you have done with their stuff? Building our two jeeps and appreciate some ideas!

Let’s see what ya got.

I have the rocker skids too, but have the skins in paint right now.

Looks great. That’s f/r bumpers and a motobilt tire carrier or is that a Rusty’s? Looking forward to seeing the rocker protection. What are you painting them with and how’s it holding up?

most of my Motobilt stuff is under the frame at this time. i havent felt the need to upgrade the bumpers yet.
the diff covers were very straight forward and are solid as a rock. the front does not impeed the steering
the skid system is GREAT and is every bit as easy to install as they make it look. fit and finish is great. trail report coming soon
my rock sliders are currently at the painters getting paint matched, so i hope to have some feedback on those soon as well.

Do you loose much ground clearance? On my MC skids, they look a little more tucked up on the passenger side. We’re excited to get these in. Been racking my head on what to do for a coating, might just clear the skids

that is a tough question, the skid sits lower than the factory stuff in several places. but at the lowest point of the factory pieces, you only loose .25" of clearance. does that make sense?

Perfect. That’s very minor in the grand scheme. The confidence skids give you is great and allows a peace of mind so you can slide over stuff safely

worth every penny.

especially after seeing the marks on the exhaust while installing the skids. there is a lot exposed under there.

I picked up the Front Bumper w/ Winch bar. Fits a Warn VR-10 No issues. Love it so far. I also have the diff covers bbut probably won't be installing them until next season when I do gear oil.

I have detailed pics and an install write up in my build thread (Linked in my signature). Can't upload here because I'm not on my home computer

Would definitely buy again.

i was rushing to get them painted before we left, knowing damn well id use them, hard. i drug them all over hot springs ORV park in arkansas and they did GREAT!! they needed a good tighten up after the first few hits, but thats to be expected.
