    This thing is major BEEF! It bolts up easily with the help of a jack and some stands.

    The ATO Front Skid has now been trail tested. I really put this thing to the test at the TW Bill Burke 4WD Offroad Adventure. The skid was landed on, scraped, totally abused and all I could see for damage was the need for a new coat of paint.

    Kevin is really great to deal with, customer service is great. I would highly recommend this front skid to any one looking for one.

    good god that things looks nice and beefy. The stock skid looks like a POS next to it. How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

    thanks for posting up some pics!!'

    as far as pricing goes.. i'm offering up the first 10 at $289 plus shipping as stated...

    the main difference you will see between ours and all pro's skid is the material it is constructed out of.. ours is made from 1/4" plate steel which makes it about the toughest front skid available. if you check all pro's website it states that theirs is stamped out of 7 gauge sheet metal which is roughly 3/16" thick. however the thing to keep in mind is that 7 gauge, although it is 3/16" thick isn't as tough as 3/16" plate steel.

    to the OP, can you take more pics, especially from under the truck, how the skid ends (before the crossmember)?

    This is actually the t-case skid but you can kinda see where the front skid ends.

    I'm not sure actually. I went to a local exhaust shop with a pic of the exhaust rerouted and asked them to make it look like it.
    Here is another view
