Full skid plate system form MetalCloak.

I purchased diff guards from Metalcloak before Moab. Those guards served me well and the customer service was amazing. I am heading to TN this week and decided it was a good idea to put a full skid plate system under my rig. I have included some photos. If anyone goes down this path, happy to connect to share my lessons learned. My main topic is I have dealer installed rock sliders and I had to pivot a bit to install the full skid plate system. It looks amazing and will clearly provide great protection to the undercarriage. Metalcloak clearly knows the rig, and again…great customer support!

Returning to the family!

1996 Road King -> 2014 BMW R1200RT -> 2026 Street Glide…nice to be back.

Grenadier meets Defender in the wild…the two takes on ‘utilitarian 4x4’ side by sid

Pulled into the lot into and had to take the open space next to the Defender. INEOS took the traditional route: solid axles, boxy proportions, straightforward mechanicals. Land Rover went the other way with a full reinvention: unibody, air suspension, all the modern tech. Different philosophies, but both clearly built with intent. Kind of a cool snapshot of where “Defender” as a concept has gone in two directions at once.

Spending some time in South Dakota during rally time.

Some great trails/routes…tomorrow will be off-road. Just wish the Harley Deals weren’t so tempting!

Skid Plates/Undercarriage Protection

So, I have been to Moab (fun), spend most weekends in the and dunes at home, and now I am heading to TN to do some additional off-roading/over-landing. I added steel diff guards before Moab, and now need some additional protection for TN. I was going to go with steel from the same manufacturer to keep things consistent. It adds 200 lbs but I feel steel is the way to go. I welcome opinions and suggestions with respect to aluminum vs steel! Thank you!

Is this an MK1 that I stumbled on in Singapore?

It was behind glass on display at the Grand Prix. I don’t know much about GT40s, any background would be appreciated. Thank you!

PAM00090 stoped over night…

Very strange, my watch stopped overnight. Had removed it before bed and placed it on the nightstand, power reserve was at 75 percent. This morning I realize it was stopped, powere reserve was still over 50 percent, pulled the crown adjusted the date/time, sounded free when rotating, but no ticking. Did the figure eight motion and it has been fine ever since. Concerns? Thoughts? Preventive steps? Recently serviced.

Can anyone help source this part?

I cannot find this part other than used on eBay. Does anyone know of a source? Or can it be cross referenced to another manufacturer? It’s for my 89 560SL (R107), and is likely responsible form my idle issue. Thank you in advance!

I thought I saw this and then had to catch up to confirm!

They had a great rig with a lift and all the required markings…
