Budbuilt Skid Installed

I installed this a few weeks ago. I'm very impressed with the quality and heft of this skid plate. I like the fact that it covers the entire steering rack as it angles up at the back. This seems that it would be very helpful in the event that you have to back over an obstacle.

I drilled out a 2 3/8" hole directly under the oil pan drain plug. I'm not interested in removing this 50# piece of steel every time I change the oil.

It comes as unfinished 3/16" plate. If you don't paint it will turn a nice orange color.
