That damn plastic Skid plate has saved my T-case, oil pan, etc... on numerous occasions! It may be
plastic but it's solid damn plastic (actually I think it's some kinda fiberglass)! I kinda like the
fact that it gives. Somethin's gotta give, why not a cheap plastic skid plate vs. my T-case?
Hmmmm....
