Any of you with the Skid Row skid pates have probally run into the same problem that I have.
Snapping the bolt heads off the bottom of the front skid plate.
Well today I finally removed the bolts threads and started thinking about a better mounting system.
Here is what I'm going to do:
Weld two strips of metal to the top (inside) of the front skid plate (1) where it joins the main skid plate (2). Each peice will be about 1" 1/2 wide and 3" long. To mount the plate you will slide the strips on top of skid plate 2 and then do up the two bolts at the front of the truck.
I don't think that the plate needs bolts at the bottom, they just need a way to secure them and take some of the weight off the front bolts.
With this desgin you will not have to worry about snapping bolts.
Well what do you guys think?
