Skid Plates

What are you guys using to make em and how are you mounting them? I took a look under my truck the other day and didn't see any easy spots, so I'm curious what you guys did.

Hmmm, I just looked out my window, and it so happens there is one looking at me right now. Wonder if I should take one from down the street or not....
