    No I do, I just left it off for the trip. It needs a little work before it goes back on the Jeep I don't feel the ASFIR trans skid is an adequate replacement for the 4xguard belly at this time.

    Whats the mounting hardware for that front skid look like, they're not just metal screws on the very front are they? Is it easy to take on/off?

    Took this from the other thread since its relevant.

    They are metal bolt s that use existing holes in our vehicles, what I do not like it that they are hex head bolts and you run the risk of sheering or damaging the head on a real rocky trail. I am going to make a replacement parts kit (an optional item that can be ordered if desired) that would have pan head style bolt heads driven by a hex/Allen wrench type tool so that the bolts can be removed if needed and run a lesser risk of damage.

    Existing threaded holes or through holes via nut/bolt?

    The front skid uses the 4 OEM bolt holes that the suspension skid uses, plus the 3 bolt holes on the bottom of the radiator support. It is super easy to put on/take off since it only ways 23lbs!
