Got a front and rear skid plate made by "Ron". Rowhard used the rear to make a new mold so he can now start making the rear plate. He painted them for me and now it's install time....
I decided to cut my front fog lights off, and removed the bull bar entirely.
FRONT SKID:
OK, front skid attaches at a different place than I thought I was told....it does NOT attach to the same point as the bull bar, it attaches using two of the bottom metal cladding screws. The top portion attaches via the two screws in the front plate delete.
But, due to the vertical protrusions molded into the plate along the bottom area, there's a pretty good gap (~1/2") between the skid and the lower holes, so I believe I need to get longer screws.
Should I put a rubber washer on each side of the skid so the bolt doesn't scratch it all to heck, and possibly grind through it over time??
REAR SKID:
When my hitch was installed, we weren't able to get the rear cladding tucked back snug along the bottom, and therefore, couldn't get three cladding screws down there re-inserted.
It appears, that's exactly where this skid attaches to.
Before we screw this up....Suggestions/ Direction / HELP!?
Here's some pics. Neither are actually bolted on yet.
