    So I smashed my OEM skid plate pretty good over this past weekend on the Mojave road trip. I wasnt planning on upgrading until after sliders, but I guess I dont have a choice now hah. I could bang it out some, but its rubbing the tire pretty good so I dont want to risk it.

    IMG_3261.jpg IMG_3260.jpg

    Im looking for opinions on front skids for the 3rd gens? Pricing, quality, customer service, turnaround time, steel vs aluminum? etc?

    I am looking at @CBI Offroad Fab or maybe @Pelfreybilt but wanted to get some others opinions.

    Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

    Heh tempting, but I think if I install another OEM, it will just happen again.

    Nice dude, thanks I will check them out

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    I like my RCIs

    It's technically called a "splash shield" from the factory. It's just to keep the engine dry.

    I like your build thread, and how you tricked out your truck right off the bat.. sounds like there is an aftermarket skid in your future but if not, I have an oem splash plate with very minor scratches I can mail you for the cost of shipping if you want
