    Does anyone have any better pics of the Downey front skid plate? Their picture is small and I can't see how far back it goes. It looks nice though and the price is right.

    So, do you have to take these huge steel plates off to change your oil or is there a secret fancy way of doing it without removing them?

    and as far as dropping them to change fluids...even with the hole for the engine oil...unless you have one of those fumota valves...it's easier and cleaner to just remove them and do the change and then put them back on
