Hey guys - just was curious about skid plates / want to make my own before winter / want some suggestions!

If anyone has pics of their home made ones and could post them up that would be really helpful - dimensions would be doubly helpful haha.

I dont have a stock skid plate, or i would just take that and make one similar...

Let me know what you guys have!

 

I'm running the stock plastic one right now. It'd be nice to upgrade to a metal one in the future though. I've already had one close call bottoming out in the middle of nowhere, and I'm not even lowered yet.

 

Stock plastic here too. If i still lived at home i'd make one out of scrap aluminum from the machine shop i used to work at, but i'll probably have to pony up and buy a panzer plate. DEFINITELY going to come before springs/coils in the spring...

 

I don't think the stock skid plate is for protection, I think it's for sound deadening.

I have the panzer plate. It's great, but doesn't protect my ******* tranny pan.

 

i chose other. you didnt give the option for running bare.

 

lol well i figured if you didnt have one, this wouldnt pertain to you and you wouldnt vote on any. or just put other, and explain that you dont have one like you do.

 

Sound deadening for the pavement?

The stock skid plate helps cool the engine and provides some basic protection.

 

I run nakid! Only I've done was shave down my AC lines with the pavement

 

Mine wiggled loose on the freeway, so naked

 

I do not have a skid plate and I am lowered and the metal arms that hang below my car are ruined... will i still beable to mount a skid plate (panzer plate) without these arms before the winter?
