The first time that skid plate touches a rock those standoffs will fold over. You need to weld up a "bash bar" that goes in the front (under the flimsy sheet metal) and mount the skid plate to that.

Took my homebuilt 1963/1964/1972 4x4 Dodge Town Wagon/Power Wagon down Cutler Creek in the Big Horn Mountains west of Sheridan, Wyoming in December...rescue mission. 1957 Dodge 4x4 D200 pickup that had been crashed against a boulder and shattered the drivers side front frame. Completely dislodged front axle. Used tire chains and log boomers to pull the frame into a reasonable representation of the frame. Towed the pickup from the Tongue River up to US14 to Sand Turn. There we unhooked the tow and I moved the Power Wagon to the front of the pickup to act as the pickup brakes...because the brake line was torn in two. NO Brakes. December in the Big Horns means 16" to 2 feet of snow on the Cutler Creek gravel two-track...took two of us five hours start to finish. Wild ride down US14 to my house on Wolf Creek Road. Great fun.

[@aku2dimensional]

Mighty Truck Mods is "the best four wheel drive show in the universe (sic)" 107% without a doubt, other 4x4 and truck shows are just a bore and a fancy Hollywood set whereas MTM is for more entertaining at the very least. They remind me of my father's 1997 GMC Sierra when it wasn't rotted through or couldn't get into gear, it was summit white with a copper two-tone equipped with a Z71 off-road package and I loved that truck more than I loved him. Never got to drive it around town though, he sold it to a lead technician at the local GM dealer who fixed it to original condition and drove it every day which made me a little more happier cause the tech was a nice guy who didn't mod Pavement Princesses.

[@Berndhardiner]

Yes, another epic offroad adventure! So exited, that's why this is the best 4x4 Offroad dirt truck offroad trucktrucktruck channel on youtube :D

And a fan to blow air through it.

[@GloryOrBust]

A side scoop attached to it would be perfect

[@JoeGerdom]

And an electric fan to actually create airflow through it.

Also not saying Moog has poor taste in cars, just for some reason I've always liked Marty's choices better.

[@davidhegarty3381]

Before you try and JDM anything- check out what's happening with the current delays as all the workshops licensed to comply imports have run out of their government allowance of 100 cars to plate (mine came off the ship months back and still waiting in a shed!) Cars now being left in Japan as there's nowhere to store them for the unknown period to get them approved. Might be better in other states but NSW is no go thanks to Fed Gov incompetence on changing regulations re imports....

HI Moog and Marty, I have been following your content for a couple of years now. I can say without a doubt that MCM is one of the best car project channels on the internet. Maybe not the best with 4X4 cars because that goes out to your fellow Australian brothers from 4wd 24/7. Maybe a future collaboration with 4wd 24/7 and your Kei truck and Jimny. I'm originally from Suriname (South Amrika) and now living in the Netherlands. Having followed MCM, 4wd 24/7, The Skid factory, Street MAchine,....I can conclude that they represent Australia very well. These channels have showed me (and maybe the rest of teh world) the indusrtial innovations Australia has to offer. Good luck on your future projects and keep your group dynamiac going.
