CAD of skid plate

Well that's what I have done so far. I plan on capping the bottoms of the doors. Then add a 2x8 in the body with 2"sticking out for a exo cage to land on.

You are doing really good work. Keep it up!

I assume you'll run braces from the frame to the 2x8. Essentially making it a unibody.

That itself will stiffen up the frame more than you can imagine. With that and the cage and all the other work you have done you won't have to worry about it at all.

Very cool build so far

Yes it will get 2x3s down to the frame. Same as my last build

I like doing this so much and I think it helps the frame so much I'm gonna do it on my daily driver crew cab. Not boatsided but a rocker skid attached to the body and the frame.

Well I plan to do it you know after I actually get it running lol

Nice work on the skid plate

 

[Crizpy1969]

I cut the body for the tube .I've decided to go with a 2x6 instead. This is how high the boatsides will be.

Badass, I've thought about boatsiding my k5 but that'll be after I get it all back together and back on the road. Awesome work man. Have you thought about clocking up the tcase any?

When I finally get a doubler I'll try.

I've noticed with a crew cab, the tcase isn't as much of an issue as it was with the K5. Different break over point.

 

[Crizpy1969]

Added a tube for the boatsides

 

[Crizpy1969]

Made a few down tubes... more to come.

 

[GWeakland620]

Great placement. Looks awesome!

 

[Crizpy1969]

I cut out the PS and added the tube. Trimmed a fender

 

[Crizpy1969]

Skinned some doors..narrowed the front by 12".
