    Those look great and can't complain about the price. I like the bracing/gusset/"whatever" you have for added strength. Good Luck!

    Hey, I am painting my skid plate today, hope to install tomorrow. I ee where the front 5 bolts go, but where do the rear ones go? Will I have to get bolts or are they already there. Do you have any photos of the rear bolts?

    Should there be bolts there already? There are no bolts there on mine, but there are holes. I will try to use these holes with some 8mm bolts I have.
