You would think, but like I said before, 1/8” steel brackets and skidplates
just aren’t strong enough for off-road use. I wasn’t working it that hard but I
did bang it on more than a few rocks. The front skidplate, which I bought from
Trailmaster, got all beat up and yet the 1/4” thick plate that I made, and that
spans over 50”, is exactly as I mounted it (plus a few scratches). It’s not
bent or dented. The Trailmaster one spans an area of only 18” and is completely
caved in.

Yea, it’s raining here and there is a huge mud puddle in the parking lot under
my truck. It’s all oozing down the sides. Looks great!
