Pics of front & rear skid plates (by Ron)

Sue,

The hitch pin may be difficult to install/remove with those skids in place. Let us know how that works out.

I couldn't even get the skid on because of the lip around the receiver...I sure didn't want to twist/push/pull too hard and snap it, so left it as is, shipped it to John. Suspect I'll have to sand it down a bit to get over the lip.

There is a recess for the pin molded in, hopefully it will be enough.

BTW, are these fiberglass or anybody know what Ron made them from?

Here's detailed pic of the recessed area for the hitch/pin. Because it's black I've tweaked the contrast, color etc so details are visible.

KAT,

I talked to Welder Guy about the lip. He didn't feel that it added any strength to the device. He basically included it since it's there on all of the aftermarket ones he's seen & decided to err on the side of caution. If you need to trim the collar (lip) to get the skid to fit, it won't hurt anything.

Of course the superbumper needs that lip there to function as intended.
