stabworthy Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) With recently being “laid off”, I have had time to lay under my truck to escape the Texas heat and daydream of ways mess up the garage. Today I was semi-mocking up a underneath rock slider thingy after last time out, a rouge rock played see-saw down there. rude awaking , chucked my t-case,and drive-shaft bells , Dented my last cross-member , muffler and fuel tank “guard”. While down there,I saw these four small holes >>> not the big "Lightening" holes, the small ones toward the t case. it is the member the t-bars are and they are tapped with one of those square “nuts” welded in the cavity, looking oe. What is it for ??? { side question, why nissan like lightening holes??????} Edited October 8, 2013 by stabworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Because these things are heavy for their size. I have no idea what they are for, perhaps a factory skid plate that was never introduced (here anyway). They don't look tapped... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 B nailed it. Probably the possible mounting of a plate, Why not use them? Why not cut a crossmember or gusset? depending on its structural need it can be bored to "lighten" or in some instances actually improves its performance, on "Ye Olde Pigs" every ounce helps!

stabworthy Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 so a skid plate that never made it into the world. i wonder where the other end would be attached? hoping in the front on protect everything in a rock's reach, like the oil sump . it looks like i going finish what Nissan started. has anyone use this point to build their undercarriage protecttion? pic?

92Path_68CJ Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Mounting holes for "truck udders" to confuse people who think trucknutz are a wise purchasing decision I can't take anyone with truck nuts seriously. Don't care if its a KOH rig or a WD21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yea, the visors on my hats ain't strait enough to buy those I had a pair of "real" nuts hangin.
