Three months ago I ordered front and back aluminum skid plates from eBay and they finally arrived. Installation was a simple unbolt the old and then bolt-in the new.
Why spend the money? During replacement I found this steel bolt from my front skid plate had taken the brunt of a hard hit from road debris. Had it hit an inch off in any direction I’ve no doubt the debris would have torn through the original fiberboard cover and damaged the components underneath. I’m so glad this bolt was where it hit.
The aluminum cover isn’t bulletproof, but the metal is sturdy and offers far better protection from road debris than the original fiberboard.
