Has anyone custom made a functional skid plate for a first gen? If so did it cover the front pumpkin or just the steering/suspension components? What were the lower mounting points used? Did it connect to the frame with the lower mounts? What thickness of plate did you use? What kind of additional support did you use? Has it seen any use and if so did it hold up well?
I have my front bumper off, cause it is all bent up from the lady who owned it before me. Looking down there, i have noticed how relativley unprotected the whole area is. I will be making a custom tube bumper like a lot of us already have, but i would also like to add a little insurance, in the form of a skid plate.
Any advice or pointers or diminsions any one has would be of great use to me. I really apperciate anything you can throw at me.
Thanks
