Got the full set of RiverRaider skids in alum under my Rubi today. These things are nice and I beleave they will hold up, even thought they are not as tough as still I beleave they have enough give in them to take a beating. Instal wasnt that bad there were a few spots were small fingers would have come in handy. Went and flexed the jeep after the instal was finished and I did hear the plates shifting around a bit. They also would hum from vibrations when the drive line would get in a bind in lowrange, but this dosent bother me a bit. Who knows maby after a while it will but for now Im as happy as can be with them.
Ill get a few phots and post them eather tonight or tomorow.

Well not exactly a mod to the jeep but one for it and my other truck. I bought a new 20' 12'000lb trailer and put 2 4' boxes on the front of it and added a few D-rings to the deck. 4000$ well spent.

Not exctly a mod to the jeep but it was for the jeep. Got a 2014 2500 Ram that is the same color as the jeep. A few odds and ends and some paint work and I believe they will look good going down the road to gather.

Well the latest issue I have is the bolts backing out of the ring gear. They came out in November after 38 thousand miles after install. I pulled it down, cleaned every thing up, fixed the air locker line that got busted by a bolt then put pack togher with new bolts and lots of red Loctite. Fast forward to Tuesday and the front locks up about 100 yards from my house. Pulled the cover and there are two bolts laying in the bottom. Its only been less then two thousand miles since I put it back togher.

Well this time around I installed some ARP bolts that had a 3/4 inch head insted of the 5/8 and they also called for 85lbs of torque compared to 60. Fingers crossed that they will stay put, if not things are going to get interesting.
