it is welded for now. at 2am the morning of a wheeling shake down, there arent many stores open. so i welded it on. it will be bolted later.
i will bolt it by sleeving the frame with a piece of tubing and running a bolt through it and the crossmember.
well at least for now, we dont have a problem with bolts breaking or loosening up.......lol
it took alot of steep inclines and declines to finally find one the would actually rub the skid plate. the break over angle on this rig is high. it takes alot to get it to rub. i believe it to be around 28 inches or so to the bottom of the skid. and the wheelbase is only 2 inches over stock
