Precise1 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Every WD21 I have seen has the same skid plate so I assumed it is for all of them. Kyle, I have 2. One with the rubber side wings, one without. Buy one along with my tires... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I have one (with the rubber wings) laying in my garage. Don't need it since I put on my black panther skids. Shame it won't fit in a flat-rate box or I'd send it to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 btw... the stock ones are really only good as a water deflector or a home for rodents. It's pretty thin and I beat the hell out of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilson Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 anyone have experience with the AC unit . any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah, calling the stock unit a "skid plate" is really stretching it, over built splash guard is more like it 5523pathfinder has an AC skid plate and I have never heard him complain about it... Not sure who else has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) I took 2 of the stock skid plates and welded them together. I drilled holes every 4 inches and plug welded them and ground them flat. I had to get longer bolts. So far it has held up. I Put a huge dent in it slamming it into some rocks last year. I will post of couple of pics of how well it took it. I powder coated the inside silver so I can see better in the engine compartment and used roll on bed liner for the bottom. Here some pics of the build Edited May 13, 2010 by msavides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yes it's supposed to have a skid plate, but I've only seen 1 in person that had a factory one and it was an '87 at a dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey, good idea!! Do they nest that well?? B They go together perfectly. Just have to run a drill through the holes to straighten them out and get longer bolts. I welded up that useless radiator drain plug hole as well. I still have not got under the truck to take a photo of the carnage. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
