help wth belly skid...

[roundsy]

i'm just about to install my pro armor belly skid and was wondering where guys have been placing the 4 rubber pieces to eliminate vibrating? also i read a few guys were drilling out a hole for the tranny oil to leak out of when doing oil changes ...does any one have a pic of where they have placed the drilled hole?

thanks

What I did was put the rubber pieces equally spaced on the back. Then I use weather stripping from any local hardware store and place a long strip along the sides where the frame touches the skidplate. I'm not sure about the tranny hole, but it sounds like a good idea.

I drilled a hole to drain my trans oil. What a pita to take the skid plate off everytime you change your oil. Mount the skidplate first to see how it lines up with the trans drain plug. I marked a spot directly under the drain bolt. Then remove the skidplate and use a hole saw to drill the drain. I used the same size hole that was in the skidplate for the motor oil drain so it looks like it was always there.

Damn, I wish I would have drilled a hole for the tranny fluid drain. I forgot what a pita it was the last time I changed the tranny fluid. I just had my skid off, putting the weather stripping on. It stopped all the vibrations.

Yeah the vibration will drive you nuts.

ON my Pro armor I put them along the sides between the frame and skid near those buckles that you can see in this picture and one near the front. I didnt drill a hole I just stick a plastic bag up under the hole and it drains out without a mess.
