    Default new to FR4x4 from Castle Rock



    Hi guys, been viewing the forums for a bit and like what I see. My wife and I live in Castle rock and try to run a lot of trails around the springs and castle rock.
    I have an FJ and the wife has a wrangler that we are in the process of up fitting. I just got into welding so I just completed full skids for the FJ and rock sliders are next.
    Anyway I wanted to join and let you guys know we will be running a trial tomorrow if anyone is interested, we are going to run Rainbow falls Sunday morning the 16th.

    Looking forward to this front range 4x4 adventure and many more to come.

    Ohh and here are the skids, I only have a pic of the front one, I made 3, the mid one covers the oil pan and just finished the transfer plate on Friday, I plan to take a pic of all installed. Worked out pretty well, I bought the 3/16 steel for 100.00 to do all 3 skids, much cheaper than what I found online to buy.
    The front one was by far the hardest and most time consuming due to cutting and welding 2 pieces, the mid one was easier because I just had to weld on 4 attachment points, the transfer plate required no welding, just drilling 4 holes.

    Right click your images go down to "copy image address" sometime "copy image url" then go to the tool bar above the text box. Go to the picture icon (third from the left) click that and paste the image address
