Did you have that made for you? I've seen custom skids mounted before. Guys usually drill holes in the skid and weld nuts onto the bottom of the frame to mount it.

lmao

if i were you i'd go to a hardware store and buy 4 U clamps, use those to hold it to the front and middle of the frame, and in the rear there are two bolts under the rear of the engine that had held on the stock plastic skid thing, use those holes

also after you get it on, bend up the front of it under the bumper

its modeled after the AC so it will come up in front of the bumper

i was plannin on using the mounts for the plastic skid but im not sure on how to mount the front.

i made it at work. its made out of aluminum.

Well once you get it mounted show some pics. My 400 came with a custom plastic skid, it used U clamps to mount to the frame.

Drill holes in the skid plate, use zip-ties. No, jp, i'd drill holes in the skid plate, and use U clamps.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot in Contractor/Electrical section. They have conduit clamps that are just what your looking for in all the right sizes...ps Street signs also make some darn good a-arm plates...lol...:D
