Mike & Gina's MGM T4R Trail Build

[M&GsT4r]

RCI skid plate came in! was a little surprised the plate didn't have cutouts around the RCI logo, but this is how the KDSS skids are made. Also picked up the filler plate that comes down from the bumper to the skid. Figured it would look super clean, and add some protection, and it does.

Install was straight forward, skid is heavy, so a jack to lift it makes life much easier. Had a diff drop installed prior to install, so had to drop the plate about a .5" with the skid spacers provided with the diff drop. not a huge ground clearance sacrifice, I can live with it.

Finally received my GOBI rack after 20+ weeks of waiting.. worth the wait. Simple install, excellent fit and finish, and extremely solid. Took these shots at up on Mt. Laguna, just outside of San Diego.

I had no idea that area could snow like that. Is this normal or did you catch it just right and it goes as fast as it comes in? Nice ride btw
