Hey I'm new here...i'm 16 and i have a 1997 Ford Explorer V8 AWD, all stock for the moment...so anways me and my friend went out in a field with my explorer in about 1.5 feet of snow,(It's a TANK in the snow lol) and when we got done, underneath the car, right behind the bumper, there's like an air scoop underneath the radiator, and snow must have gotten in it, and pushed it because it cracked on one side, and was cob jobbed back together...so here's my question...me and my friend built a replacement for this air scoop(a replica) out of metal...i was wondering if this is safe to put on the truck, becuase of cooling and all that...and as well i want to put a skid plate to block that from happening again, will that harm the truck in any way?...if anyone can give me some details or advice on this, i would appreciate it, thanks!
