NOW is a relative term. Is that 24 or 36 hours?

Borrowed some shop space from a buddy (tired of laying in the snow to get simple projects done). Installed Oracle's Lighting skid plate. Installation was mostly painless and wired it to run off AUX 4. Happy so far. Driving pic is with headlights off, skid plate light only.

Let us know how it performs as a “skid plate”. Looks great and love how it installs.

Yeah, the "skid plate" moniker leaves a little to be desired (especially considering the sloped and fairly beefy one that you remove to install this one). The trail will tell.

Installed Armorlite, a dead pedal and seat jackets. Wasn’t hard, just time a bit consuming.
Did you have to take the seats out and do you notice better sound dampening ?

Installed a gmrs radio to the aux 4 switch. Still need to troubleshoot why I have a bunch of static and low voice when transmitting though. I know I'm grounded so don't know why currently

I was just going to say that. Dollies, driveshaft, or deck!
Figured that out after the fact! Only went 5.2 miles though through town, thank goodness.

I did take the front seats. At first I left them in but they were really in the way. The back seats easily folded up and out of the way. I think there was some sound dampening. I only went for a short drive after but it seemed a bit quieter.

I added the Rock Jock carrier bearing drop spacer. I've got 3.5" coil lift & 3/4" spacer out back. Sorry no b4 pics, it did have quite an upward tilt. For only $30 bucks & 1/2 hr, I feel better & so does the driveshaft.
I just made me one of these with some 1x2 scrap aluminum bar stock I found in the local metal supplier remnants bin. My 3 inch rk kit put a little angle in the drive line.

I just got under and shimmied it up while my wife reeled it up. Tight fit, I thought I would have to air some down but nope it worked. The worth the effort for me, rarely will it be accessed I won't be doing a five tire rotation. Just a nice assurance to have it available.
what tire did you throw under there?
