ramdala Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Well, it has been a long time without modding the pathy. As you know after installing the sfd the front remains a little bit exposed. So I decided to install a front skid plate.... from desition to excecution it took me a long time... but finally here it is The design was made with a 2mm steel black power coated. Here are the photos: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96Pathfinder4x4 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That looks great! I've been quoted $500 for a local shop to make one. projekz: No worries, man....If you put on the SFD, the plastic one no longer fits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have one "made in place" too! made of Naval Aluminum 5052-F. But, without the side flaps. >_> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky2 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I like it. Babaca I got to make one myself and just need to take some measurements and bend it at work. The aluminium looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick13 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Strong work on the front skids. That looks great! I've been quoted $500 for a local shop to make one. projekz: No worries, man....If you put on the SFD, the plastic one no longer fits. Well, you can still make it fit... ...but it won't last long!!! I liked it for reduced wind resistance (seriously not sure it helped any) and the way it looks with it on (probably the better reason). But it ripped off 3 times in the first 6 months and is now sitting in 2 pieces in my garage (thought I'd use it as a template for a future steel skid). Nice linky Ramdala. That's some decent stuff!

96Pathfinder4x4 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 That drawing may come in handy. I have no way to bend metal, so that drawing may save some $ in design time. I plan to go with just 1/8" steel...with some undercoating spray. Pathy looks good Rick! Nice to see that with the right rims, I will clear the struts with 33s.
