I’ve been looking at getting a skid plate. For obvious protection purposes and because it looks pretty cool.
I keep looking at there things in Magazines, and the best I can make out they look like a thick hefty sheet of Aluminum plate and a couple of strong brackets. This to me doesn’t look too hard to fabricate myself for a quarter of the cost. Between my neighbor and me I have al the equipment to do this. This could be a pain in the ass project but highly satisfying when finished.
Question
Has anyone don’t this?
Where and what do the brackets attack to on the frame? Do you just drill new holes and bolt them on.
Has anyone got the dimensions for this plate?
Are does anyone have the dimensions of one already on there truck, fixing points etc?
Any help would be would be great.
I just recently Made Leather Gaiters for the Gear shifts Diff lock shifter and Parking brake. And builts a bush guard for the front bumper.
I get great satisfaction from making custom parts for my Disco it makes it stand out. :drink1:
