Full skid set with ARB bumper plate in blue

Big thanks to Bud for some awesome skids. I put them to the test a few days after installation and they worked well. I left plenty of blue on the trail!

If anyone has the ARB bumper, do get Bud's ARB bumper plate. My main reason for adding this piece was looks, but I think it will offer good protection from any little deer that cross my path.

Nice! Good luck with them!

I just looked at your sig and noticed the concrete in the Pics. Those are at Rausch aren't they? We'll probably be down for the Coal Miner Classic in July.

Yep, all those pics are from Rausch Creek. I always have a great time there! This was my first time on the concrete. I shocked some of the group by trying those obstacles, but they really were not that bad if you can live with the idea of not seeing anything but your spotter after you start the inclines. Of course, if I still had the factory front bumper or didn't have the rear hitch, it would have been an expensive hill.

Yep, I knew I had seen that concrete before. I didn't go down though, had my family in the rig. Thought about though. Next time!

I had my 12-year old with me, and he was egging me on! He was reminded that if he wants to drive the FJ someday, it needs to survive the trip.
