Heck I didn't even know they still made cbs, [sm=joke.gif]The skid plate looks pretty good.

RE: new stuff
 

Do you have a shot of the skid plate from farther back, so we can see it better on the truck.

RE: new stuff
 

Did you remember to cut an oil filter access or are you just planning to take the plate off for each oil change?

That's the same CB I have :D, but I mounted mine under the ash tray!

I like the diamond plate alot though

RE: new stuff
 

i dont have a ash tray. it is a tight fit to move my foot from the gas to brake but i got to where i dont hit it anymore, my pa speaker is a waterproof 15 watt thats louder then a friends 50 watt i got waterproff since i dont want it to get ruined i got it for 14.99 at west marine a local boat and marine store. my trucks not lifted so i it cant be seen is i take a a picture i have to get on my knees to take it il take another pic tho in color didint know it was black and white till i uploaded it.

RE: new stuff

That looks pretty good, I tried to make mine look better so a while back I painted it with silver Krylon Fusion spraypaint and it's held up better than I imagined it would. I bought two cans at the time and figured I would just spray it again if the paint started peeling off but I haven't needed to so far. Fortunately, you don't have to take it off every time you change your oil. Those of us with 4x4's have the oil filter right behind the skidplate and theres a little flap for easier access....

ahhh 2wd has a different filter location?!

weeirddd....and Matt, I did the same with my skid plate..but, between the remote oil lines leaking and the coolant leaking at the oil cooler line...it's back to black on the bottom half [&o]

Dito, I thought those went out with the '80's. I wonder if my 'handle' is still good, I went by Tin Indian. :)
