Nugget (now with diesel)

I like my Riddlers - I haven't looked around if they are still available. But yes, unfortunately ARB armor (diff, skids, etc) is more esthetics and less function.

Best get closest form, meeting the skid function.

I just had an engineer leave to go become a commercial pilot.

Best lesson he shared: Network, spend your own money to add training (not necessarily in-flight training - other certs) credentials to your resume, pay your own way into conferences to network, and persistence with everyone you networked with — then follow that up with more networking and persistent follow-up on those contacts...

It was the only way he broke into the business (POCs & persistence) - he saw too many others around him he was talk to stay stagnant and they're still just hoping for a commercial pilot job.

This was after he spent years building flight hours and being an instructor on smaller craft.

Lite work done today. Popping out old nutserts to install the flux sliders. Fixed an issue that's been bugging me since I did it.


Both fenders had a nasty lip from hitting a ditch I didn't see in tall grass. Tires hit and bent them both up.

You can see the gap on the passengers side.

Since I had the plastic arches off fixed the driver's side.

Did anyone cover this hole when they installed their sliders?

I've seen at least one person run a small bead of foam to keep the aluminum separate from the tub. In an attempt to keep stuff from getting behind the aluminum.

a couple post up, before i started talking airplane stuff,

i bought arb cover for the front diff. and was reminded by hosejockey and farfire to go with the riddlers. more protection less loss of clearance.

Riddler's? That didn't come from me. I always suggest Barnett style covers.

I see my bad, I think I had read that and didn't remember the brand name. Hopefully those help. I should do something like that, my diff cover is starting to look really smeared. I was wondering how much longer it will still hold fluid lol

i peeled the bottom of the Wife’s Jk open. that’s what started this for me.

@hosejockey61 went back and couldn’t find anything smaller than a dana 60 or toyota stuff on Barnes. probably go with the riddlers.

Sending in your stick cover was an option before they got more covers in stock. You want to look at T&J as they're the ones who sell it. If they don't have them in stock they may still build one using your cover.
