tcase skid plate
 

ive been tossing around ideas on a tcase skid plate but cant come up with any that i like. anyone have any pics of how they mounted theirs?

thanks

trepaul just built a bad ass one and posted pics of it, ill see if i can find the thread....

Camodown and Trepaul86 have some great ones.

I mounted mine in the stock holes, but drilled them out to hold bigger bolts

stock holes? mine didnt come with one

there should be holes in the frame for one anyways.

you didn't have two holes on the bottom of each frame rail

what did you figure out. Any ideas yet

I made this one today. It's kinda like the factory one. I wasn't trying to make it pretty or anything, just something to try and learn on. It's a little too low but that'll be an easy fix. It's 12gauge like the factory one.

Sorry for the pic whorage, but I want to give you the best options for the project! It's all 3/8in plate, overkill yes, but it's beefy and functional.

I too used the factory holes that every 4wd truck comes with. I know they all come with t-case skid holes, but not all trucks came with factory front skid holes (like mine).

mm pretty :fing26:

you should send it down here for a proper test where it'll get slammed around on some un-forgiving granite!! instead of scraping those pesky mondo speed bumps


The toob one is cool, but a plate one, or plate covered would provide a TON more protection, i see a point on a rock going between the tube into the thin tcase shell.

that looks good trevor. thanks for the pics. i have a good idea of how im going to build it. ill probably be working on it either friday night or saturday. ill be sure to post up pics when im done

i want to build one like camodowns, if i remember right it covers most of the under side of the truck

yo does that taurus have rims? lol

That's how we roll here in OR dude lol

I bought an OEM one for $36 last year from parts.com, however Trevor's is badass, I would definitely go with something like that. A lot beefier than the one I have.

here is the build thread for the one i made.

I should really make a beefier one, but I'm broke broke.. trying to align my priorities before katemcy.

it ain't that big.. its big enough to get high centered on all day long though :laughing:

The OEM ones are decent, mines held up, kinda. everytime i take it off, i have to run it over to flatten it back out to get it on. now its slanted back hah

haha, yea I remember you telling me that after I bought it...but so far so good...knock on wood.

haha
if you look at it from the passenger side it looks like this /__/
or the driver side looks like \__\

that would be the same as in it is bent towards the back of the truck on both sides...lol

thattttsss what it looks like though?

o i thought u were trying to say one side was bent towards the front and the one side bent towards the back....lol
