Thanks Matt. On the driver's side its off by at least an inch. Passenger side I could drill/thread new holes. Gonna shoot Jon a note here soon.
I did get one good thing done today, though. I got the backup camera all hooked up to the mygig and mounted under the 3rd brake light. Looks great and the addition of a backup camera is huge for me.
So, sleeping on it, I'm wondering if it would be OK/Safe to take it all to a shop and have them fab up an extension on one side, and tap/mount the bracket on the other side. The holes all line up so that the plate will mount correctly, its just a matter of what it's bolted to. Thoughts?
Would need to see some pictures but that definitely sounds like an option.
I'll snap a few this week if I get a free minute to tear it all apart again
The Steel Armadillo skid attaches to the radiator support and the cross bar behind the motor. My radiator support was pushed back 1" in an accident (and off roading) but the skid still works great. Just needed to drill additional mounting holes for the front attachment points.

Ive pulled radiator supports back by strapping it to a tree with a good chain/recovery line and reversing slowly. Its cheaper than having a shop do it just kind of dangerous hahaha

Thanks for the assistance! Got a call into Marlin about it, depending on how it goes I may be placing an order at SA. Should have listened to Matt the entire time
