I had installed my TC skid the same way as the above picture. And all it took was one hard drop on to a chunk of granite and the bolt and nutzert tore out of the crossmember and frame rail. And they were still attached to the skid when I found it laying in the creek later that day.

So since the nutzerts didn't work and now wouldn't fit in the enlarged holes, I had to do a few things to get the skid back on. The first was to take two 3"x2" 3/16" pieces of steel plate and drill and tap a 3/8" hole in the middle. These were then welded to the frame rails after test fitting the straightened out skid. Then I drilled thru the cross member and thru bolted it.

Now I have a little more confidence in the skid to take the hits that it might out on the trail.
