My Super White 5th Gen Build Thread
After a 2 month wait, I finally got my full aluminum skid plate set from the RCI group buy. I installed the front 3 skids plus filler plate earlier this week and then put the fuel skid on last night. The front 2 skids are fine, but getting that transfer case section lined up and mounted by yourself is an absolute PITA. I'd recommend using a pry bar to help hold the frame braces up while you slide it on. It took some very careful knee/elbow/hand coordination to hold it all up and slide it together, but once it went on it's VERY solid.
I'm glad I went with the aluminum over the steel as this truck is never going to be a serious crawler, and I'm especially glad I went with raw Al vs. powder coated, as it looks great from the front and from the side.
I opted to mount the fuel skid as far forward as possible to reduce the gap between the xfer case plate and the fuel plate, as well as providing the most amount of protection to the front of the tank.
