Need to vent. I spent a few hours yesterday and a few hours today wrestling with the Gas tank skid. I still can't get this damned thing on. I am trying to get everything done by Tillamook, but I might scrap my rear skid.
My new bumper requires that I cut the Nut strip down, which I did, but then I have to fish the strip into the unibody frame and hope the bolt goes in. Got one bold in out of four. Got the opposite side lined up, but the bolt won't go through the nut. I messed with this thing for two hours before I had to take off with the family. What's worse, the rear two mounting holes don't even match up.
I am about to scrap the rear skid and get the rear bumper finished, so I can move on to the Front Skid, Tranfer cased skid, rock rails, OBA and the CB.
SO, do I really need that rear skid?
On the good side. Got my rear differential skid thing on AND we adopted a new puppy from the Animal Rescue in Chehalis. She's a cute. Doby, Border Collie, and German sheppard mix. We bring her home on Thursday.
