I think making 2 or 3 shorter plates instead of one long piece would help in a lot of ways. By covering separate components, you wouldn't have to remove the whole thing to service the transfer case, tranny, or oil pan. The gaps would allow more ventilation and reduce total weight. Easier installation & removal too. (The 2' x 2' aluminum plates under my Blazer were already a beotch to remove.)
For the oil filter, you could make a hinged door in the front skidplate, like the plate on my old Blazer ZR2. Worked great and a turnscrew latch kept it shut.

thanks for the kind words,the skider is 2 parts,one is from the rear A-arm cross member to the last cross member just in frount of the gas tank. the frount goes from the winch mount to both A-arm cross members. to change the oil you have to remove the same numbers of bolts as oem,6.
the next will have more slots and holes,it just hard to do that stuff free hand and still have a good looking part when done. keeping it 2 parts i can keep cost down so more of you can own 1.
