Inspiring work donandal. Many good ideas well executed including the skid plate. How did you do the dimples? Guessing made a press die like you did with the stake pocket extensions?

Thanks,

Yeah, I made a simple dimple die for that skid plate.
I just drill a 1/4 inch hole where you need it, the press it in.
I pressed them in on a cheap harbor freight H-frame press.
