    I thought all you had to cut was the template area around the license plate holder? Doesn't look like you cut the entire bottom of your front cladding in this pic:

    So what exactly is left? I was going to put it into a cleaner list for you but I couldn't find what you have left in the posts above.

    Good to hear from you SPAZZ!

    ....

    Cladding.
    Rear complete 12 bolt Isuzu Corporate axle.
    Rear 12 bolt Isuzu Corporate 3rd Member in 538 Aussie Locked( brand new R&P & Carrier & Brand New Aussie Locker, brand new install my Independent4x).
    Spare 538 brand new R&P and brand new carrier.
    Same as above.

    Several 3rds same as above in 456 and 430.

    Several front Isuzu Corporate 10 bolt Axles without shafts & cv's in 430 & 456.

    Several 3rd members same as above in 430 & 456.

    Original VX F&R R&P's with bolts in 430 with only 18,000 highway miles.

    Tone's Full Diamond plate skidplate with oil change holes cut.
    You'll need to weld on your own mounting brackets for correct clearance .

    Front SAS Dana44 project in 538 ratio near complete . Set up for crossover hi steer.

    Rear axle drag bars X3 or 4.

    A whole box of original VX paperwork and instructions as well as VX related and the Original CD maintenance manual.

    Everything since April of 2001 off the Showroom floor I've collected & removed and saved to Feb of 2009.

    Middle side Glass piece.

    Front Headlight.

    Numerous types of front headlight bulbs.

    Side marker light mid'd with blinker.

    Side power mirror Assy.

    Entire locking gas assy with key.

    Jack door cover.

    AISIN MANUAL HUBS!!!

    And the list goes on.


    In the pic posted, that was for mock up and we noticed that with my diamond plate skidplate that the winch bumper bottom plate would not mount up to the bottom yow hook holes.
    Also, the down bars to bottom plate were interfering
    With the cladding and the VX breathing/overheating.

    so we trimmed the cladding all the way across from one side to another where that bottom bulge if different than thefront side.
    Much better.

    Oh okay I get it, that's a damn fine mock-up btw. So this is with it actually installed right?



    Do you think you'd have to trim it if you didn't have Tone's skid plate?

    Sorry, I never saw your receiver kit before.
    So do you still have any? How much did you want?
    How much "tongue weight" could you mount?
