custom skid plates- your ideas
I'm thinking of beefing up on my underbelly protection, so lets see what you've done.

As our 2nd gen gas tanks don't appear to be able to be lifted a better skid is in order. The T-case is pretty vulnerable as well. A IFS skid plate would be useful, not so much for protection, but in order to slide over stuff. if you don't quite clear it.

Youde think that hah? its actualy a good bit under 30 and has had no real problem aside from not putting the CV in the rear. Should be perfect once I do that. Fronts gonna move forward to and help some ad maybe a high pinion (???) someday

I don't even know why they bothered with the OEM T- case protector. That
s a tough one to protect without a all new crossmember.
