Default new stuff

i got new stuff for the blazer to ubdate everyone i added a pa/cb combo i have pics 2 :] also i hit some trails this week and got to thinking i need a skid plate so i made one myself not the best but its better then nothing, just some 10x30 diomond plate. EDIT: forgot to tell everyone i added realtree camo seat covers,




how its mounted. i have a whip on now but i had a firestick it was mounted on a peice of diomond plate but it kept bending so i just mounted it on the bumber so i have a whip and firestick to switch when i want to or feel like it.

Do you have a shot of the skid plate from farther back, so we can see it better on the truck.

Did you remember to cut an oil filter access or are you just planning to take the plate off for each oil change?

That's the same CB I have , but I mounted mine under the ash tray!

I like the diamond plate alot though

That looks pretty good, I tried to make mine look better so a while back I painted it with silver Krylon Fusion spraypaint and it's held up better than I imagined it would. I bought two cans at the time and figured I would just spray it again if the paint started peeling off but I haven't needed to so far. Fortunately, you don't have to take it off every time you change your oil. Those of us with 4x4's have the oil filter right behind the skidplate and theres a little flap for easier access....

Dito, I thought those went out with the '80's. I wonder if my 'handle' is still good, I went by Tin Indian.
