This is a statement akin to "I have never got stuck."I had a beefy set of sliders on my D2 and I literally NEVER touched them on anything.
It means you never really tried, Bill!

It was MM3846 that mentioned the APT sliders. I don't have sliders and probably won't bother with them. I had a beefy set of sliders on my D2 and I literally NEVER touched them on anything.
Here's how mine sits today. Lucky8 CFE front bumper and Terrafirma roof rack also from Lucky8. I also installed engine and trans skid plates from Rimmer Brothers and a-arm skids from Prospeed (purchased from Lucky8, still waiting on the rears to arrive). Just installed the Rigid spot lights on the rack yesterday. Have to install the two little "scene" lights on either side of the rack and then wire them up. Also have to pull the front bumper to remove the winch solenoid box, fix a bad wire, extend the solenoid leads, and relocate the solenoid. There isn't enough room for the box to sit on top of the winch in this bumper and not enough room to work on it or remove it from the front access hole. Also have to secure the wheel arches to the body - the damn front tabs are broken on both sides, although I've come to like the duct tape look.
If that's the case you don't need transmission skid platesI threw that D2 all over the place like a cheap whore but the sliders retained their virginity.
Thank you for all the pics! You don't have a factory plate in that spot? My truck has one. Or does it not work with the L8 bumper?Then I'll be left with one remaining gap in coverage - see the last picture where the cooler lines are hanging out in the square area. An aluminum street sign followed me home the other day and I'll use that to fill this gap.
My truck didn’t have an engine sump panel or anything in this square area. I didn’t know they were even missing until my mechanic said something. You don’t miss what you don’t have.
I have to find new tires and I’m going to check out 255/70/18 as well. We are kind of in an odd size range with these things.
Yea, not much offered in that size if you’re getting serious. Lots of dudes on the internet seem to say 275/65 is the comfortable “max.” You’ll still need to trim/remove/move the frame horns up front, probably bend the rear AC lines out of the way in back.Looking at the spreadsheet, I think 255/70/18 is a better bet than 275/65/18 because they are about 3/4" narrower which should save some rubbing in those wheel wells.
edit - but I'm not seeing much offered in 255/70/18 other than all-terrains. I'm planning on bumping up to some MTs.
