Most fwd cars, minivans and pass vehicles DO have plastic diffusers and plates underneath. Go crawl under one one day, you may find your sense of humor down there.
And the neighborhood cats always tend to have parties under my truck, i told them if i have to wake up in the morning and pick up beer cans and cig butts just to get in my truck that im putting a rottweiler in the yard!
I just meant that he doesnt need to run an offroad skid plate to acheive what he wants to do, and my time, money, and thoughts are spent doing something better than that, trust me.

Yep, I have seen the plastic diffusers under there (much like your trucks rubber one) and that PLASTIC does fine
and if sarcasm is under there then I probably will find my sense of humor as well
. Also, nothing will stop those small animals from getting under there (including a steel skid plate), if there is a way in they will find it. As far as the medium sized bird, I actually hit one when I had my mach 1 doing 70 and went though under my hood (near where the grille is at) and screwed up my drivers side headlight and a skid plate would have done nothing, you don't mount them that high. Also, I'm guessing you never hit a large sized deer and had it take out the entire front end but maybe if you had a skid plate at the grille, over the hood and maybe just maybe over the front windshield you could have saved the vehicle
. Anyway, I just was joking, trying to bring some practicality to your idea, but sounds like you were joking around too, so we were both on the same page to begin with
