Post subject:  new skid plate mounting questions (desperate)
Well I am suppose to leave thursday for hannibal rocks run and I just got my skids from rusty's and the box was thrashed so no mounting hardware made it. I am looking for a list of what I need to mount these bad boys up I have engine/tranny and transfercase skids. I hope it is easy to figure out how they are suppose to mount because there is no directions either if anyone has any info that can help my cause it would be much appreciated thanks guys.

Carriage bolts through OE holes
drill out holes so 1/2" bplts can be used
use cation when drilling so you dont drill any thing you dont want drilled ,like the oil pan
I like to use a pcs. of 1/4" plate ,but I also use it for the same thing at work so I have it, a pcs of 2X4 wood should work fine
just put it on top of where the bit will come out

why would it matter?

I would only use grade 5 or something close
If you should sheer one ,wich I doubt you will, with the softer grades they are way easy to drill and use an easy out on
try to drill a grade 8 or even worse an alloy bolt out

Pray that they dont sheer off and get stuck so they need to be cut or drilled
