Hey guys, just wanted to find out if anyone has had issues with their skid plate that goes under the gas tank. My skid plate is fine other than the fact it is sitting in my garage and has been since my vacation into Kentucky back in March.
The bracket which supports the plate in the back rusted out and no longer could hold up that heavy skid plate. I removed it because it was hanging there and have not been really off the road for a long time. Because of this, and other things.
I think my only option is to drop the tank, and make a new bracket which can be removed. That way, I can remove it to put the tank back on, then the bracket, followed by the skid plate. I was honestly surprised about how heavy duty that skid plate is.
Opinions?
