[QUOTE="Beerj, post: 649392, member: 10035"] I read that it was "tricky". I don't recall exactly what it was but the idea stuck with me. My idea was to machine little "top hat" looking things. The inside of the hat would be big enough to fit a 3/4 socket and have a 1/2" hole in the top. Then I was going to cut holes in the skid big enough for the top to fit through but the rim would contact the underside of the skid. I don't know if that makes sense or not but either way, I don't currently have the means to make said hats. I suppose with that design the welds wouldn't really be doing much since the weight of the skid would be resting on the rim of the hat and any upward forces would just push the skid against the chassis. We'll see how it goes. If I aquire a lathe and am boogering bolts all the time then it's always an idea that I could revisit. [/QUOTE]
