Belly Armor Front To Back - Courtesy Of BudBuilt

Finally got the last pieces of the BudBuilt skid package installed last night (thanks Reggie). A big thanks to Bud for getting these out to me and also for making such a terrific product. Here are some pictures:


View of the new gas tank skid:



Another angle of the gas tank skid (note the crossmember):



Front view of the skids:



A full front to back view:



Here's a picture of the rear of the Magnaflow exhaust. You can see where I had a muffler shop cut the pipe in order to reroute and get rid of the bling tip. Considerably more clearance:



You can also see the All Phase Offroad differential skid. There are also Sonoran Steel lower links and RockTek Customz lower link mount skids installed.

BudBuilt gas tank skid turns out very nice. So is the All Phase skid.

I'd add these to my wife's FJ if she would let me.

They are too clean (and straight, un-dented, non-scratched)...

Nice Jim, very nice.

Jim, those look great. I don't have the gas tank skid yet. I have to talk to bud and see when the new design is coming out.
