Caleb, It's all good I feel the same way you just have to get out on the trail with them and show them whats up but it sounds like guys I wouldn't want to wheel with anyway. I had a vision of what it would look like and barring any mistakes I knew it would look better then stock but it turned out better then I thought. I'm expecting the front guard to finish that look off.
My armor from 4xGuard will be here tomorrow!!!!!!! I ordered it sunday afternoon they said 3-5 days processing then shipping. Well, great job to them because looks like I'm going to get my stuff at my door in 3 business days from order to arrival thats pretty darn good.

I started on the belly guard first I had one friend over who had helped me cut up the front bumper and stuff. Once I figured out which bolts went where it wasn't to bad at all. Except for the bolt on the passenger side that comes with the stick thing (nut on a stick) that you hold and it has a threaded hole to bolt the skid up. Great idea but I couldn't hold or put enough pressure downward to get the thread bolted in, it would just push the nut on a stick away. I used a string that I looped threw the so I could pull down on the stick to keep the nut part in place.
made me uncomfortable when paired with the self tapping bolts that came with it. I over do everything so this is just me
I decided not to use the self tapping screws and just drilled my own holes and used grade 5 nuts and bolts with a healthy heaping of Lock tight the red bottle. While I was at it I turned my hooks upside down 
especially with my trimmed bumper. The belly guard lined up perfectly with all the holes the front skid did as well. So now I can't wait to get out and put these threw some abuse
