I'd love to check out those sliders you have... see a set in person. You have the OEM skids already?

I think im going to take a trip to the pines either Sunday or Monday of Memorial Day weekend if you're up for it.

Dont know about next week..I have the tank skid from the factory that's it though.The slider are real nice and solid. I havent had a chance to use them yet xcept on the snowbanks..I put them on before the winter and their showing no hint of rusting.

Does your tank skid have the threaded holes to mount the tcase skid? If not, its very thin sheet metal and won't work well as a skid plate .

Check out whats going on this weekend!!! 2nd shot is just to give an idea of the size of the lights... they're 9" OD.

Yea you'll have to do some modding to get them to fit. Mine just fit and I think their 6"? Will look awesome though!!

Yeah I definitely realized that when i looked at the Matrix in person. I decided that i'm just going to make a light bar out of one of my left over Thule load bars and mount that to the Matrix. Or something similar... not sure. Will have to see how it works out once i put it together.

Another option im considering is not using the grill hoop and just mounting the lights directly to the Matrix... but, I was also thinking about using the hoop to make a hi-lift mount as well. Decisions decisions!

Definitely for the two top lights,just make a bracket to extend the light mounts away from the hoop.. I'm jealous you got the front skid from 4xguard also! Looks like a nice piece too..
