Nearly Complete Front Skid Plate

3/16 steel baby!! Yep, she'll be bullet proof underneath after we're finished. The design is very similar to Bud Built - except it has some better reinforcement (thicker steel mounts) via the custom cross member as well as the custom mounts (haven't taken pics yet). Hopefully it'll be finished next week. Coverage includes: Engine skid, transmission skid, mid, gas tank. Basically front to back. Going to get the skids for the links/shocks from Allpro. Can't wait to get this finished - more pics to come.

-Update-



First picture is the completed and freshly painted front skid (paint used was a rocker guard). The rings are to protect the bolts from shearing (1/4" steel rings). Large holes in front for cooling/cleaning. The -well I'm not sure what to call the shape in the center is for oil changes.

Front to gas tank - the only plate left to complete.
