Whats the deal peoples, new 50 owner here..

I'm trying to fabricate a skid plate tomorrow. I saw that fab5 guy had made a super hot one for his, and I just had a few questions..

I see where the back of the skid plate bolts on, how about the front?

Has anyone else made one?

Is there anything I should look out for when building it?

Any plans for this thing out there, or is it just an eye it up kinda job?

Where can I get the diamond plate?

I work construction so I have all the tools at my disposal. Thanks for helping a niccah out.

 

make it out of poster board first bro. get the diamond plate at a metal recycling place or something like that. it aint hard. just take your time and it will come out sweet.

 

fab got any pics?

 

damn i never thought of that....hmmm. maybe a project for this weekend.

 

this is all i have...

 

so its only bolted on the bottom two bolts?

 

yes and the 2 bolts on the cylinder

 

Word.. So the two bottom bolts, and the 2 on the front/top on the cylinder.

Did you bend the diamond plate or weld seperate pieces together? I'm guessing you bent them.

Good looking on the help fab. You think it would be straight if I im'd you when I was ready to wrap my stator?

 

looks nice fab i would make mine own but i just pulled a great deal with mekrew on a red one.

 

You can buy a nice new one for $40 off ebay..........


besides diamond plate is country ghetto

 

i welded the side ones, but u can use rivets, bolts or whatever if u dont have access to a welder. use your imagination. no problem wit the IM. i wouldnt put it on here if i didnt want to help anyone. work has been taking up most my time but if my away message is off, im here.

 

looks good fab5, i think silver's jealous...
B

 

Silver yous just a hatter

 

anything he doesn't have is garbage....and he calls me a hater.

 

I thought ya knew if Silver ain't rockin it... It ain't ****...

 

show me the "40 $ " skid plate on ebay.........., all I've seen is like 60$+...
