One tip for ya(not being a dick) Dont post things on a web site unless you expect positive and negitive feedback. This is mainly an off road website. Posting something that could hinder off road performance might not appeal to everyone. Dont take things to seriously or personal.

I'm fine with feedback, both positive and negative. I just don't like people being blatant jack holes for the sake of being a jack hole.

In all honesty, there's nothing wrong with cb's and snorkels, they're just not for me.

I don't see how this skid plater could hinder performance, unless I find myself in a boulder field. The front diff is gonna hang up before anything else.

Olnly way it is gonna hinder performance is if you use it on a rock, stump or dirt /d need to back up. Those fins will want to pull the object back with you, keeping you there, messing up the trail or pulling off your skid.

Wow, not sure what the deal is with all the rude comments. I think it looks bad ***. OP has said he doesn't do rocks... Who cares if it would smash against a big boulder? If it works for his style of wheeling that's all that matters. Nice work.

People tend to be more rude and brave when a key board is all they have deal with. I like that skid plate.

I've always got whack a$$ ideas I'm working on. I'm adding a few finishing touches to my frankenstein bumper. The next big "worthless,lame,mall crawler" project I'm working on is some "police-like" rear window cages. They will match my headliner, if you've seen that. I have some stupid, worthless, pointless door panels in process too.

Thanks for the props...these hatin' turds don't bother me. Honestly, it sounds like they have jealousy/insecurity issues to me.

Learn to read and comprehend !
I asked about the factory reinforcements and if they were removed ?
I stated it was cool, and without the reinforcement not as strong as the original (Implied).
I said keep up the good work. (ie. kudo's on the creativity)

Maybe my response was misunderstood. I meant, yes, I removed the factory reinforcements but added some beefier ones of my own.

I wish I had a Kudos right now. Them things are tasty......
