My sheet came from McMaster Carr and its black. Stuff is spendy if you buy an entire sheet. I have cut the belly plate and also my boatsides ( havent put them on though ) and still have half a sheet easily. I think it goes around 500 bones for a
4' x 8' though. I got it from my sponser M&H tool

Wut happened to that guy, he's been awfully quiet lately

dont want to drop 500 on a skid plate right now, any ideas on something that would be a little cheaper

i decide to run the intake backwards to give more room for the rad and fan also maybe to keep the filter dry.

steering ram is mounted with 1/2 and 1" plate maybe a little over kill but its not going anywhere

well the whole body is bare metal now and about half the cage is ready for paint
