I managed to test the skid this weekend. It held pretty good in protecting the rear differential and no signs of movement.

I sold my second skid in the classified...which was good thing because I could not get a partial refund toward the sledge hammer install on first one (guess I missed that deadline among the 70-some pages here). I was happy with it though. Since I am not seeing any more posts, I guess most everyone had a resolution to their satisfaction? The person I sold it to called All Phase and got an earful. I won't say more on that, but am guessing there won't be any more of these available.

I want to sell my "spare" skid but I don't have one of the plates that goes above the axle. This skid came in a box that was shredded so the plate may have fallen out. Now I wonder if I can get a plate from All Phase.....
Still have yet to put my second one on. I tried and tried over this past weekend but I am going to have to bend the drivers side front u bolt outward a little bit. Next free weekend I have I will try it again.

My third one took a bit of gentle persuasion on the welded U-bolt. I'm going back under there one more time to bend it to try to get the rear U-bolts moved back a bit more.
