[QUOTE="Canuck714, post: 1746345, member: 6707"] After a week of driving around with it like this, I got to work making the down tubes, crossmember bracket and skid plate. Dont like how other bumpers use the steering rack bolts to hold the crossmember bracket so I made several prototypes that all ended in the scrap pile. I decided to use a 1/4 inch channel that covers the gap in the crossmember and gives a place to land the downtubes. I wanted to keep the stock bottom skid and this actually adds bracing for that. Now I can jack the truck up right from the center crossmember while skids are on. Didnt mention it in last thread, but my 3/4 inch drill bit choncked after 1 hole so the other 3 boxes got an ugly plasma cutter hole..lol It works and you dont see it with bolts and washers on.
