Skid Plate Templates

[Blasterb0y794]

Hey guys, if you want to make some cheap skidplates this is for you. I'll be selling skid plate templates, for the front a-arms, and the body skid plates. These are the templates only! Theyll be on paper, and alls you have to do is, just trace them on cardboard, or trace them on to the metal directly. Just get a street sign, and cut away. I used a jigsaw and it worked great. I'll post pictures up to show how good they came out. The templates are $4 for the whole body! Just let me know if you want any and ill whip some up.

hey thats a good idea. I have Diamond J Wideing kit templates too. They are for only the +6" wideing kit only. $2.00 to my Pay Pal to pay for the paper and stuff.

Nice idea man... But doesn't buying the template sort of take away the whole "free" idea?

 

[bkg479]

well buying to pay for shipping+materials, I think that is what they were being charged for not sure if it is 4 and than shipping

 

[timsyfz]

Not saying it is not fair or a great idea... Just not free anymore haha

hey tim, nothing in this world is free. lets just call it a "cheaper" option.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

lol hey 4 bucks and a local street sign! thats pretty damn cheap

 

[bkg479]

lol.. i dont think he was trying be cheap, just saying if it is 4 dollars it isnt free and it says free, maybe you should edit free to cheap.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

looks good. thats how i was looking to do to mount mine. you should paint the mounting hooks.

Those look good (not as good as mine though, j/k) I put pro armor on mine too, lol.
The only thing I wish I had done, and you might think about doing, is bend the sides up along the main section. If you look at some of the store bought ones they are built that way. At a certain rpm the harmonics kick in and cause a loud vibration sound, bending the sides up would prevent that and look cool too. Either that or foam tape.

Oh, I was also going to mention, for a nice clean look get some low profile bolts that have a dome shape head on them and put em through the bottom with the nut on top. I paid like 2 bucks for a couple bags at walmart.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

eh these bolt are good, but thanks anyhow man. anyone interested?

Thats exactly what I was saying... But those do look GREAT ! ! Well done
