Skidplates: A very sturdy piece of metal bolted/welded/JB-Welded (or
sometimes held together with bailing wire) to the key undercarriage
components of a 4x4 (or 4x2) vehicle. Mainly required when you drove your
truck somewhere that you really shouldn't have but actually made it through
without loosing more than 4 quarts of oil. ;)
