Aftermarket Skidplate Recommendations Please!

[zerowkul98]

Id like to protect the undercarriage area, imparticularly the area between where the bumper cover ends and the OEM front skid begins (not the crappy accessory skid). Id like to keep the New England weather from doing more damage to the front of the frame near the radiator.

Many go with budbuilt skids. They are kinda pricey though. I've seen a few run man-a-fre skids too which seem to be solid and are cheaper...up to you though. A google search will find their respective sites for you.

Thanks for the info. Most of these look like replacements for the stock skid, and dont cover the area from the bumper to the frame crossrail (right under the radiator).

I just want to block some of the junk, salt and filth that Mass roads are well known for.

Ill check out the sites for the vendors mentioned, but i'll probably end up going into my work's metal fab shop and start fabricating. Im much better at woodworking that metal though.
