What are the thoughts on engine skid plates, specifically with a Chevy v8 installed? Is this something I would need to fab up, or are there good solutions already out there?
On a totally different subject, I just recently ran across a hitch mount for a hijack but can't seem to find it now. Any experiences with that kind of setup out there?
You can fab one up. Did mine about a week ago. Honestly the hardest part was figuring out where (and more importantly how) to mount the front supports.
Yeah, using chevy junk, they need all the protection they can get. Installing it in a jeep where's it is surounded by good metal is all ready more protection than whatever it came out of hee hee.
You could just weld some 1/4" stock to the flat bottom of the pan. All you are looking if protection from a rock tearing the thinner sheet metal. My GM pan is aluminum, so my fix was a taller lift and higher motor mounts .
