Custom Skid Plate

[IllusiveRigitity]

I had some free time so I fabricated me a skid plate for my 2012 Ram Limited. I'm happy with how it turned but you can't see it unless you look under the bumper. Oh well, I know it's there!

Very nice work... What's it built out of? Was it CNC cut or water jet? Very clean!

 

[IllusiveRigitity]

Its made out of 1/8 inch mild steel and I cut it out on a waterjet. Thanks for the compliments!

Looks great. You should look into selling some of those. I am sure people would buy them.

Awsome! man if I had access to a water jet....

 

[Hipps2000]

Really nice design man! Defiantly see if you can make them... I'll take one as well for my 13! The oem skid plates suck and don't protect ****. Would love some beefier ones.

Could you take more pics of how you mounted it.

Wow ! That is awesome !

I basically used two bolt holes, that I assume were made for tow hooks, and just one single bolt hole on the bottom. I have a 6 inch suspension installed on my truck and it included a skid plate for my oil pan and I used that one bolt hole off of the skid plate to install my custom skid plate. So I have a total of three holes used to hold the skid plate. I was planning on drilling and tapping another hole but I felt as if it was Rigid enough to hold so I left it how it was. I will post pictures tomorrow. Thanks!

If you could produce these, i'm sure there would be a decent market...I know I would be interested if I could mount it with where my train horns are located

Sounds good. I'd definitely want at least 4 bolts anchoring that thing. Wonder if there is a way to bolt it up when tow hooks are installed also.
Definitely a marketable product! I've been dying to find an aftermarket skid plate.
