Upper control arm skids? Alternative

[GATORB8]

Creek water drip from Saturdays trail run. Or SoCal hard water spot. Maybe all the minerals and crap in our hard tap water gives me an extra layer of protection.

It's in the picture in the instructions too:

Yep see my edited post above, I double checked and you are right.. I was remembering wrong.

Just to clarify my comment. I noticed it looked like it was not directly under the bracket.

To keep from having to Fab, meant something like a T-Nut on top to try and catch the lip of the bracket:

1 hour.
I will have to cut and weld the drivers side to fit with my EVO exhaust loop skid.

Are you fully plated underneath

Sounds good. Maybe 3 to 4 week to get the Barnes.
Lots to do this winter.
Install Barnes skids. Drivers side cut and weld.
Find out why my ARB twin is losing pressure.
Coolant smell in engine compartment. No drips / no loss of coolant. Just a slight smell.
Re-gear my F250 4X4 for towing my trailer and jeep.

Sound like a solids weekends worth of work
Except maybe the regear but let me know about that coolant smell I have something similar after getting it changed but I just attributed it to Jeep doin Jeep things

Yes.
complete Rough country plus exhaust loop / resonator plate / diff plates / diff control arm plates / muffler plate. I think that's all.

You might like my jeep build thread it’s on my profile, its similar to yours except I didn’t plate any exhaust parts because idgaf if it breaks; I’ll just put a high clearance borla on it.

i didnt know you could really even hit that part of the LCA lol. let alone that were skids for them. i have the rockhard lca skids and they are full bolt through and tough as nails. surprised to see them that weak for those. i guess RH figures no one would really be hitting there, except OP lol.

even if theyre bent, theyre still protecting. id say just leave them and take it a bit easier on the rocks.

I have re-gear my Willys twice my self put the F250 going to the 4x4 shop.
No more heavy lifting on my back.

You have to understand I’m not like gunning it or anything I’m just slowly driving over rocks rarely do I bump myself up stuff but my jeep is factory height so that’s the big problem, we working on that slowly but surely

I have the borla and had to modify the skid for the double exhaust tail pipes

This high clearance one was the one I was looking at
