Mine is bolted to the front of the frame, to a bracket on the front IFS crossmember that I welded on there, and then bolted to my Sonoran Steel IFS brace in there rear.

ok sense i ned it this weekend. i'll probably just make one that mounts to the front of the frame and to the front ifs cross member. and until i can get the sonoran rear brace i'll use that. but when i get it, i'll make an extra piece that will bolt onto the bottom.
Ike, is there anyway you can give me a side shot or a rear shot of the front of the skid? the part that is infront of your diff, not below it. i'd appreciate it. thanks again guys!

If your still working on the template. I have seen people use thin poster board as a basic template, it cuts easy and it can be taped together to creat the angles you need. then just lay it out and trace it to the metal, it wont bend cause it fairly strong. hope that makes sense.

really long update for you guys but when school gets hectic and you have two jobs (summer school too) you get really behind. but i'm caught up now. i have the skid cut out and bent, i just have to drill the holes to get it positioned right. i also ordered my aussie locker this past week so things are starting to pick up a tad.

more like everyone hears your rear slider haha. i had it with me when we went to windrock, i showed it to chris but i don't know if i showed it off to anyone else. did you see it? i need to get it put on soon. i have my rear third pulled right now waiting on the aussie... stupid back order. i'm torn between taking my rack and lights off and selling them for some extra $$$ to spend on shocks and little nit picky stuff. so i may just start a vote soon to see what to do haha.
