My OEM skidplate is held in place by a couple of eye-bolts in front. The rear kinda slips onto a flange.



Doesn't look like much, but sure comes in handy around some of these miserable roads!

One of those is a air guide that all cars should have. A couple of clips and screws.

The other is a belly pan designed to protect the oil pan in the event you are off roading and bottom out.
