Is it just me, or are those things not only butt ugly but usesless as well? They appear to reduce ground clearance and would do squat for protection. Anyone else ? ?

 

I personally like the look of a skidplate but I agree... the factory one is nothing great. I was thinking o building a custom stainless one and polishing it this summer.

 

I would rather have them and not need them, than need them and not have them...

 

how about painting them, i kinda want to paint mine red and put "Kingranch" in white letters on the front. i have an 05 with the factory skid plate, but what do yall think about this, any ideas on paint. i thought maybe the skid plate and then the roters red would be kinda cool.

 

If you do take them off, send them to me, I'll be happy to throw them away for you...

 

for sure, id love to throw them (away) on my truck

 

I don't think that would look to bad. Untill something hit it then it would look like poop. All scratched up and stuff.

 

well now, everyone coveting my skid plates makes me kind of want to keep 'em after all. hehe

 

POWDERCOAT.

/caps off

 

I suppose they could be Line-X coated. I wonder how that would hold up on there though?

 

I couldn't have said it better.

 

The Line-X idea is the best idea if you want to do them a different color. I think it would hold up pretty good.
