Skid plates on your front lip or bumper

axmea?

Thanks OMGWTFBBQ! This is exactly what I had in mind. I think keng had 16 or 18 guage plates and that is exactly what intend to use. Plan on building two of them, one on each side where it is the lowest. I had an idea of making it stick out a bit (about 1/2 an inch) but I will flush it instead. I cannot counter sink so it will be bolt heads sticking out a little bit.



Thanks Waizzz. This helps. I noticed these things were chromed. My plan is to paint it black and that's it. My lip has a small crack right at the bottom on it's lowest point and will need to be repaired before I can install these. Simple fiberglass work from the inside of the lip.

This said, if I do this, it protects the lip and makes it resistant to breakage/failure at it's lowest point but transfers the energy elsewhere. I will then have to figure out where that energy will be causing a stress point.
