i saw a picture of a Yellow Xterra (said it was Mitch) and he has a skid plate on the front that says This Side Down. (lol). My question is, did you fab that your self or did you buy it? If you fabbed it did you have to Make a engien/Transmission plate too?

Also i was wondering if there are any front skid plates out there that dont require you to buy Aurmor for the Engien/Transmision.

This is my X.  I got the skid plate from Spensor Wong who got it from a buddy of his who took it off his Frontier.  It uses the same bold holes as the stock plate.  I don't have any other armor because I have mad off roading skills so i don't bang my junk on the rocks. Tongue

He made it.

Dan, my doctor and the EPA have advised me against it.

He made the skid plate himself. 

Let me tell you that thing took a beating before it went to Mitch... Now it just looks pretty at shopping malls

Ok, this isn't to scale, it's raining and I'm tired.  I hope we're all good.
