What gauge is this tubing? And what is the gauge of the flat metal inserts? I do have some handy workers in our sheet metal shop.

 

Very interesting idea, definitely like the look of it.

Thanks.

 

The tubing is 1-1/4" x .108" wall. The skid plate is 16ga stainless. The lower mounts are 1/4" plate and the top mount is 3/16" wall angle iron.

Before and after.

 

 

 

 

Between the 2" leveling kit and removing the plastic from the bumper, I've gained 9" of clearance under the front bumper. 18" vs 9" stock. My mileage doesn't appear to have taken a hit at all. Still getting 19-20 mpg back and forth to work.

Looks good. I like how both setups look actually.

Made some pieces to fill in around the tow hooks. I used 0.100" HDPE plastic.

Thanks guys!

 

I was at the dealer Monday to get the airbag recall taken care of and the service manager commented on how much he liked the look with the air dam removed. He said he had thought about removing his too but wasn't sure how it would look.
