Custom Low Profile Skid Plate 4 T-Case. Off Of Ruff Stuff Stiffiners

So i been doing the Ruff Stuff Unibody Frame Rail Stiffeners. And decided to make A Skid Pan

I started with the cut off pieces from the stiffiners

The cut off pieces from the stiffiners. are the starting point for this build. I used the right cut off for the left side and the left for the right

Really dont see where you have done a lot of work on a flat belly... YOu tacked in some stiffners.

If you look on my webshots page you willsee a flat skid I built for my XJ... it is flat event with bent frame rails

You can and I have. You're not going to get a flat belly without doing so.
