    Well the skid plates were made and picked them up on Friday. I painted them with a light coat of silver to keep the rust off but also so they would show up in the pictures. It is a 2 Piece 3/16" Cold Rolled Steel.

    General Grabber X3's vs Rice Peak

    Hey I have been wanting to do that trail for some time now as well! I also live here in Tucson! You said that the highway noise wasn't bad, but what A/T tire did you move from? I am running the 33" KO2's and will be moving to a 35" after the front SAS. How does the Highway noise compare? I do...
