I've broken the oem and w8 pans with just the 4" snow in NJ. In my opinion, they're both useless.

Dieselgeeks pan is aluminum as thick as a quarter. $250.

That looks sweet. is it aluminum and how thick is it?. Is this stout enough to be a 'skip plate' ordoes it offer the same protection as the plastic belly pan?
