Skid plate question

[IISPEEDYII]

What are the choices of added skid plate protection that we have? I also have no way of getting them welded on so that might be a problem for me if that is needed.

You wouldn't happen to know where I could get some at a reasonable price?

U and me are in the same both dude...I think GM warehouse or something like that website has them on stock run for like 350+ or so...an sometimes some fellow club member post then for sale...but I haven't been able to catch me a deal...u could try eBay or Amazon sometimes deals pop up there

Thanks! I kept looking for skid and it was pulling up Westin brush guards and other random stuff.

I run DOI skids and bumper. Matt doesn't produce the skids any more. Next skid I seen that is a true skid is Schwartz. The oem is not skids, they are only considered protection.

I saw his and I was honestly ready to pull the trigger but then shipping basically killed it for me. It was like 140 or more to ship it I don't remember the exact number.

Completely flat skid plates like that are great for sliding on, but vey bad for accumulating mud and not allowing good air circulation for cooling.

I have never had an issue with cooling. But yes you do have to watch for mud accumulation on the skid.

Man I would love a set of those skids for the T! too bad it wouldn't work/ isn't available!

Same here; no cooling issues. And it doesn't rain here so we have no mud. Just lotsa rocks.

GM for sure. They are pretty beefy. Plus they are weaved square tubing type so they don't have any issues with cooling etc. I was going to say Ebay too. There was one set on there last week. I guess they are gone now I can't find them anymore.

EDIT: NM here they are

I love my skid plates, things sure surprise me off-road. I haven't had any issues with mud, or snow building up or heating issues. But as long as you get something your good.
