hahaha.

Looking good man.

[zj95]

Trans mount is installed, and BELLY PAN IS HALFWAY INSTALLED

The long awaited pics..















Still have to weld in the rear tube mount on the skid, then paint it.. other then at its done...


Clayton should really atleast drill the holes in the crossmembers, even if you still have to tap them..

If you dont get the holes exactly centered in the skid holes, the bolt heads dont sit quite flush... and none of mine were centered dispite me using a center punch. Even tho they arent flush they are close enough that I dont see them being a problem.

Are the rails that go under the "frame rails" part of the clayton belly pan kit or did you add them yourself?

[zj95]

That is pretty bold statement. I understand building one yourself. And I understand copying a design but admitting you are going to copy it on a public forum is pretty lame.

[chadjans]

I would consider getting an extra thick washer to replace the ones holding the skid in place and weld them to the cross tube. Is that cross tube removable by means other than a sawzall?
