I was wanting to make a skid but don't know what to use to hlod it to the frame? i thought about a pop-ribit but then it would be hard to remove and then thought about regular screws..... what do yall think... it's for the middle:confused:

buy 2 more of those plastic braces that go acroos the frame at the back of both front and back skids...then you will need 8 screws..4 for each bar(2 to the TVP's and 2 into the skid it's self)..and it should mount up and easy to remove as it's just screws holding it on.

I Used Some Thin Metal And The Stock Screws Along With A Drill And A Hammer..it Was Easy
