I just moved the stock tank behind the front seats. I made a dimond plate cover for the tank so I can strap coolers and stuff down to it. The main skid is 1/4" with 1/8" angle welded to it for bracing. The oil pan skid slips over the main skid and then boldt to the frame rails on either side under the motor mounts.
I don't have any great pics of the skid. I'll get some of the skid and the new exaust setup next time I am in the garage.

Well I found some pics with some good lighting. In this firs pic you can see the redisgned exaust and the built up area so the the tranny mount bolts dont get destroyed.



In this one you can see the oil pan skid better and how it mounts to the frame.



This is why it is nice to have stuff tucked up out of the way. Trails like these will rip anything off that is in the way and is not securly fastened to the rig.

Well thanks for showing us those pictures of the under carriage.  I guess this will teach us guys without a true lift (like a garage lift), that laying it on it's side is the best photo opportunity.  

What a strong looking rig!

With nothing where the tank was, you could easily put the muffler there.  Bring the exhaust back, tuck it high up.  Then have it take a 90* bend and mount the muffler there and then do another 90* bend for the output.   If it was more over the rear axle, you probably wouldn't have to skidplate it.

Wow, that is a great idea Jeffy. I could pick up a honda civic exaust and bolt it up. I have been thinkin about getting the heep back street legal again but dreading putting an big exaust under there.

I've got a similar exhaust, muffler is at the rear of the crossmember with a turndown.  Got tired of ripping the tailpipe off or bending it back underneath.
