Which FAD skid plate are you running?

[MarkY3130]

Yeah I heard about your summer day turning to winter almost instantaneously. Weird. If you can get photos of their fitment together that would be great, but take your time and don’t go to any trouble.

Here’s a couple pictures. I’ve got some work to do cleaning up after abusing everything on rocks all summer. Have a trip to Moab coming up and then I’ll work on touching everything up. Hope these help

Does the Artec Fad just install with 2 bolts?

Awesome, thanks. In the first picture, is there a mounting bolt missing on the left side?

Yes, bolt missing. I had the Metalcloak skid installed which uses different bolts. Lost the bolt somehow. Probably in my loose bolts bin but haven’t taken the time to locate it yet

Ok, thanks. It’s missing because you misplaced it and not because you can’t put it in due to fitment issues or interference from the LCA skids. That’s what I was wondering about.

It has a total of 4 bolts, same as stock. The bottom two are recessed and won't get damaged by rocks, unlike the stock bolts. It comes with two new bolts for the bottom and reuses the factory bolts for each side.

Anyone try TMR Customs FAD/CAD slid? Just found them. Looks to retain stock stabilizer location.

Generally, anyone looking for more FAD protection will, or already has, relocated the stabilizer.

Artec, with the full gusset/skids kit on the axle.

The "TMR" part of the bracket might come up too high and rub on the stabilizer. The stabilizer bracket looks like it might bolt on though.

It would be nice if someone produced a skid that had the OEM stabilizer mounting location for those of us with less than 2" of bump stop.

Next Venture FAD skid comes with a layer of UHMW: https://nextventuremotorsports.com/...products/jl-jt-fad-front-axle-disconnect-skid

Appears to work with OEM stabilizer mounting location too, which from this angle it seems kind of pointless...

Looking to purchase one, just trying to see which ones is the easiest install vs quality?

Old post, but I use the stock one, well until I pulled it off and never replaced it. I might put it back on.

I'm not since it doesn't seem to get hit and it's tucked up a bit. I prob could use come control arm skids if anything.
