    My input would be to ditch either OEM skid plate as they will do nothing to protect your truck off road. They are good for hitting a tumbleweed or two but that is about the extent of their strength. Go with a quality aftermarket skid if you want something to actually protect the underside of your truck.

    Yup. I have the silver one- first trail run I banged it on a rock and it pulled out one of the tiny, wimpy little mounting bolts. It now sits very crooked. Planning to replace with something beefier soon.

    When I get rid of it, you can have it. It's pretty banged up.
