Yeah, question would be how much is needed, is it worth it, and still have enough bolt length or replacements. I'm not aware of any other concerns, other than maybe the overall look/weight if pushed too far forward.
If it weren't for the other brackets on winch plates, one might elect to put...
I agree that it seems easy enough to just make a few cuts, I'm just an overthinker that likes to consider my options. So I appreciate you sharing your experience with the ebay steel clone as I'm sure they're quite similar.
From what I've seen with others having to trim their winch levers on...
My '23 Mojave has the bracket on the outside. They must have changed in later years. Unless it's a Mojave X thing, but I thought they had the same front plate.
For anyone that has installed this aluminum bumper, such as @Gecko21 ...
Can you comment on whether the bumper, winch plate, and winch need to be installed as one complete piece, like the MP Concepts bumper? I imagine so, as it has the same winch plate design that goes in front of the frame...
Thanks for taking the time to weigh this for us. Did either of you happen to weigh the bully bar or winch plate?
Good timing as I was just looking at this the last couple days and thought it might be an MP Concepts clone as @NC_Overland suggests. Very close, but not exact.
Comparing the...
Thanks. Reading the RH instructions it looks like the shock skids now include bolts, but the factory nuts that are reused.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like your Belmetric order included 6 bolts. Which should have covered front/rear Lca (4) and shock mount (2) skids. Why did you...
Smart, I don't want rusty bolts so would swap if needed. I just don't want to buy what I don't need, nor wait if I will need.
And now that I see @Pliny paid $100 before shipping in 2024 for new bolts for the lca skids, that may change what skids I buy in the first place. I'm not sure if that...
I considered bed liner when I first got them to give them grip for stepping on. But I went with skateboard tape on the passenger side only, since I don't step on them.
I find bed liner use on rock sliders to be a bit controversial though. Some say it doesn't last any longer, so needs just as...
Thanks. The combo of POR on the difficult to reach side, and paint on the rest could be a good idea.
Ahh, that makes sense for corner armor. I looked it up and some use welting as a seal, or material in between. In that scenario they're trying to prevent water or dirt from getting in, to...
Thanks. You're right, I hate to hear it. Not just because it's a pain to remove and treat, but because I wouldn't expect it to be permanent, requiring future repetition. Dripping some reformer and fluid film in it on occasion wouldn't be so bad.
I've had POR15 on a chassis before, but didn't...
I have the Rockhard 4x4 Patriot rock sliders that I'll be giving a touchup to cleanup and prevent rust. However, most rust speckles are just splashed from the rusty plates that go between the sliders and the body, and not rust on the actual sliders.
Rust removal from the plates:
I don't want...
Do these pictures help? Happy to take some more or measurements, as I too wonder if this will fit both tops.

Another expensive option, but middle ground in terms of size. Not overly wide, but still protects chain wings, and on the sides.

You did exactly what I wanted when first looking at these. I wanted one higher up to avoid clearance issues, but also wondered if that'd make it easier to bend up into the hitch on hard hits. But it's usually a slide, not a hit.
That last pic suggests not, but have any of you found your...
Great summary, thanks! Unfortunately, now I want to do them all.
Of the ones that are scenic, and easier/less-damaging than Fins, do you have favorites?
I'd still like to do Fins and Hell's though (stock Mojave), but definitely want to get scenic trails in first.
