Already built a skid a few years ago. It's off so I can drop the tank and install the Chevy fuel pump.

Yes, but that's just the beginning. It will be gusseted and also tied into the main mounts as well.

Oh alright. That looks really good, my only question was the function but i can see it now. Gotta love those guys putting aesthetics above function, right? i watch 'em like a hawk

Got started on the swingout this afternoon. Like my las bumper, this one also uses a D44 manual hub as the pivot. Yes its functional and can lock the carrier in any position.
