Just finished DOI skid plate prototype
This will be powder coated and the bolts replaced with flathead allens for an even cleaner look. I wanted seemless and robust protection from the winch bumper backwards and that's what I got after a weekend with Matt at DeFelice Offroad. I will say more after I get a chance to beat it up this weekend. For now here's a picture:

Re: Just finished DOI skid plate prototype
Hmmm. Interesting. Anything that is stronger than the tinfoil shield that is provided now is a big improvement.
I do worry a bit about mud and heat build up with the solid plates shown where the OE tubular protection would typically go...

Re: Just finished DOI skid plate prototype
Nice bjc,
is there anyway to make the front part one angle (smooth) without the step down?
Let us know when it will be available

The break provides a solid mounting surface to the frame - not sure if this is avoidable or not.
Regarding availability - Matt has the dimensions recorded and is likely ready to fabricate more as demand arises. I suppose he would incorporate design changes if I provided negative feedback, but like I said, I have not had a chance to test yet.

Re: Just finished DOI skid plate prototype
I guess it is plenty solid then and in several pieces for service access?
Good Job
