BudBuilt saved my Bottom...

Thanks Bud for getting the skids out so fast and your help with missing hardware. They were put into action the first day on MoabRim. I have no lift, so I ordered the skid set as some insurance as there was no time to do much more. They are pretty scraped up since that was a 4.5 rated trail (armor and lift). Mrs. Moab , Tony, and Jim D. spotted me through and the plates proved themselves over and over.

Nice! Thanks for the kind words but your title reminded me of diapers and babies...

( We have 9 kids and now 2 grandkids!)
thanks again!
Bud

Not better, just less smarts. A few obstacles were optional, this one was not (if I wanted to get back)...made for an exciting trip though!

Lets see the picture of you all the across and your rear bumper.

That is the nice thing about stock bumers; They kind of move out of the way so you can go anywhere.

I can't wait to see the "Mod Phase" of this FJ, and good job of breaking her in!

Here is the only shot I have coming out...

My hitch to the brunt of it, bottom of my rear bumper is scuffed, but my lower front bumper is totally thrashed. I had a replacement from MoabRat before I even went on this trip. Much scarier shots of others doing the crack here:
