Budbuilt installation

[trokedawg]

Anyone installed a budbuilt skid? Bought a used one from a Taco owner. Dry-fitted it and it lined up perfectly, should I simply reuse the stock hardware?

Can i ask price?

I probably paid a little bit too much $200 for just the front skid. But it's basically brand new, no sratches dents, doesn't even look as if it was mounted and is powder coated black with the Budbuilt lettering on the front. Overall I guess not too bad of a deal if brand new bud wants $279+$25 shipping + $35 (guestimate on the powdercoat & lettering) = +/-$340

Definatley going to buy the bellypan skid when I finally pay my runner off.

You are going to reuse the stock hardware for the front 3 bolts if you were not supplied with new ones. There is actually a bracket that attatches to the back of the steering rack and then bolts to the Budbuilt skid to support it. The stock 2 rear locations will not be strong enough to hold the heavier skid up for driving purposes. Hope that helps you.

If you didn't get the bracket when you purchased yours I am sure Bud can hook you up. Good Luck:guitar2:
