Home made Gas tank Skid
« on: September 23, 2013, 06:36:46 PM »
So after bashing in my tank and bending my pick-up, Twice! I made this up from stuff laying around!


It's 1/8" plate plug welded in the center and welded around the edges of the factory skid.



I heated and bent it on the back side for some extra strength.



The finished Product, I tested it at City Hall yesterday and so for so good!
Do you think it will survive Raush Creek???
