Anonymous Unregistered	Jim, the "wing" aspects by the T-Bars, how are they supported/reinforced if at all. I like the idea but will they with stand "TJ" levels of abuse?

There is a flange bent up vertical on the edges to provide stiffness, like this \|____\| The vertical flanges are tall enough that if the plate does bend, they will contact the frame and stop it from bending further. _________________________ Jim Shrake www.ShrockWorks.com Armor! - Bumpers, Sliders, Skids

Shrock Member Registered: 09/02/03 Posts: 450 Loc: Houston, TX	I need about 2 hrs with an Xterra here that isnt beat-up underneath and they'll be done! I think they are done. I just need to verify. I dont know about the Calmini skid. I've never really looked at one up close. _________________________ Jim Shrake www.ShrockWorks.com Armor! - Bumpers, Sliders, Skids

FinallyAnXer Member Registered: 28/02/02 Posts: 464 Loc: Bradford, PA	I would assume, if it comes off with just one bolt, that it acts as a pin, that could be easily greased, by disassembling/greasing/reassembling. Or a shot of canned white lithium or something every now and then. I see the issue, but think if its going to cause Jim extra effort, that it is something that can easily be done consumer end to defray additional costs. -Jeremy _________________________ "I'd like to move us right to Peter Gibbons.

Shrock Member Registered: 09/02/03 Posts: 450 Loc: Houston, TX	The one's we've done so far have been maintenance free. Stainless steel pin & bronze or polymer bearings. I've never heard of them squeaking. How was the one that squeaked setup? _________________________ Jim Shrake www.ShrockWorks.com Armor! - Bumpers, Sliders, Skids

Damn, that is an awesome price if you can pull it off. I definitely see a full set of shrock skids going on the X in the near future!

Anonymous Unregistered	Jim, are you sure about not having a mount for jerry cans, instead of a tire mount? Am I the only one who takes long off road trips in the Baja were you can't always count on being able to find petrol? Other wise sounds great to me.
