I want to beef up the look of the front of my truck but don't want a bull bar. I'm thinking of a skid plate. Anyone got any ideas?

im in the same market, even though the more and more I look at the stock one I think its fairly decent, i am interested in a budbuilt

Well I went ahead and bought the optional skid plate. I think it's a little light duty and I wouldn't want to skid across anything with it but it looks really good. Now I think I need to mount a couple of Hellas to finish off the look

I can tell you they wont take much.  I had a huge scratch and in the metal and a little dent action.  That was one of the reasons I painted mine.  But i guess it all depends on what kind of wheeling you will be doing.  But I def like the look of them.

look much better then those skinny skid plates. I think I'll be going this route

[fibertop]

this is an old thread. I have since gotten an OEM

i know and I was just stating my opinion since this thread was about skid plates........

You should paint the skid plate black!

[fibertop]

I was thinking about that. I saw a black one with a big TRD decal on it. Looked pretty cool.

Yeah that looks sweet.  I was considering doing it in the spring, but not so sure after seeing the beating the sand and salt gave my skid plate this winter.

[fibertop]

maybe a good reason to leave it unpainted

[NicksRig]

Yeah but I put a dent and a deep scratch in mine.  The black paint covered it up nice.  I may put herculiner on it in the spring along with my sliders.

They look a bit tougher but don't look as good in my opinion. I like the aluminum factor too. Those look like a rust maintenance nightmare.

i agree fibertop.  plus the added weight would kill mileage!  i only want a skid plate for looks, since i dont wheel my truck
