    Still waiting for aftermarket under body plates. Can't locate mopar engine Skid. Also interested if I can mount them to my limited. This would be promising but it would block the daystar winch bar. Noticed ATP has a skidplates tab for renegade but no products yet.

    Looks similar to the Rocky Road skid plate I have. Although it doesn't require a bull bar like mine does. I agree it would be nice if it were wider but then you'd need to get rid of the towhooks. IMG_6044.JPG

    You could modify it and cut a hole up tip and have it mounted inside the bumper like mopar did. This would require some extensive effort. For me i want a proper full width bumper. I just posted this for those who wanted a larger skid plate

    My next project is to pull the bumper, make a new crossmember that will allow me to mount a winch inside. Just need the crazy weather season here in Oklahoma to finish up so I can just ride my Goldwing to and from work while the Renegade is torn apart.

    We are getting to the end of tornado season here...2 or 3 more weeks. Summer is here, but the storms are hanging on a little longer than usual.

    Question about this. Do you need to take this off for oil change?!

    I've only had one oil cjamge so far and it seemed impossible tp get the filter out without taking off the skid plate off. However i think since it also mounts up top somewhere (hopefully) that you wouldnt have to.

    Yeah you do, but it's quite easy to take off. Takes less than 5 minutes.

    The one I made does not have to be removed.

    You must work out ;)

    Putting it back on takes longer. And it's not light. And I'm using a rack at work!

    Lol yeah I'd estimate a little under ten minutes to put it back on, I just put a blanket under the car and lay it on that! I agree it's super heavy, an extra set of hands is always nice!
