Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
So after a bunch of years with my battered heavy gauge steel skid plates on my Gen 2 I have decide to shave weight and go to stainless steel skid plates. With the stainless being more resilient than steel I can afford to run a lighter skidplate without sacrificing the protection I need. I want a lot of maintenance free years out of these because I don't plan on replacing them any time soon. The front plate I run is very small and connects to the sway bar mounting tabs, I don't run a sway bar and these mounts are very strong. I use the front plate to push things and slide up obstacles so it needed to be hella strong. Also got a friend helping me make a full size stainless front skid plate for those days when a sway bar is needed.
The second one, is just the stock plate made out of stainless and 1/8" shorter mounting flange on the back side so that when I make the new transmission skid plate it will still lay flat on the IFS crossmember like stock. For now I just added some washers so I can run this while I design the new one.
You can see how it wraps around the crossmember perfectly.
Turned out great. Man, wish I could sell a bunch of these to my pals... What do you guys think?
