Made a quick skid plate. 1 hole will have to be drilled to get a bolt in and 2 holes for drain plugs. Still needs some bracing, but ran out of time. Ive been sitting on this piece of plate for about 4 years. I didnt even have to trim the shape just transfered to cardboard and went from there, it was just about a perfect fit. I would consider this version 1. Well see how it holds up and re make if needed..
The steel is from an old under ground oil tank dating back to the 1920s.
Made some slices, bent it up in the press and welded it back together.
Paints drying. On truck pics soon.

That's not 'skid plate', it's tank armour.
Then again, that is what we need here in Vermont...

Thank you! Hopefully this one lives for a long time.
Little more progress on the window bars. Will do a crows foot on top.

"fastback"
This will get one more horizontal bar
We did this without the cap around, but it "should" fit back on. Goal is to have it read for next Wednesday/thurs evening run.

you will be able to get the top back on with the 'X' bar?
Notching the cap so it slides all the way in?

Yeah, it will have to be notched on the top around the X. Small price to pay for the added strength.
