Thanks for the close-up pic. That is a very tight fit.

I noiticed last week when I was cleaning up the truck that was about and 1 1/2 of mud and goop tucked up inside the Fabritron skid! So today when I was installing the Ski Row front two skid plates I drilled some relief holes in the Fabritron to drain all that crap out. Aluminum doesn't rust but it does eventually corrode away.

Looks great!

Now you have two places to carry around extra mud

The skids are well worth the cash and extra weight.
Many times I would have been unhappy without them.

When I mounted my skid plate, I had so much trouble with the nuts at the back that I tapped the holes in the ARB and just bolted directly to the ARB. Now it is so easy to take the skid plate off when I need to.
