We I am going to be taking the lower fog light valance off and making my own custom skid plate. I have the coolest idea ever for it. Ill make this thread a build up thread. So far I just have my sheet of steel as of now. Pics will be added as progress is started.

 

cant wait to c it

 

yes defiantly get pics because I took my llower valance off also and I want something to cover up the underside.

 

It better be awesome, as you described it.

 

will do, I'm cutting it up and measure now.

 

lol you know it!

 

thinking about putting this on the top front of the skid plate, but im not sure which one?

 

Id go with the 4x4 or have a decal made.. any pics of the build up?

 

They are going to be a step by step process in pictures. Getting the measurements now. Still need one more sheet of steel......the one i got wont be enough

 

hurry up, haha jk

 

Instead of putting a badge to be ripped off, why dont you cut "4x4" into it?

 

i thought about it, but i need to spend my 10 gift cert. some how lol.

 

Here's the one I made. I just slapped on some bogus measurements to give you a general idea. I left the original plans with the shop that cut and bent it for me.

 

my truck with and now without the lower fog valance. Much more clearence!

 

The clearance was always there

I guess you were just afraid to mess up that plastic clip

 

ha lol, yep sure enough was, lol that was my ice breaker lol

 

Yah I decided after I put my bumper back on, clearance can be earned with more lift I guess. Now that I have my bumper I don't even really wanna offroad it.

 

here is the plate cut out, now all i have to do is bend a lip for the front and the plate is done

 

Ok its on now. Did a fit test, painted it, than installed it. finshed product here:
