You gain access to the bottom of the engine and transmission by removung the skid plate. For example, in order to reach all of the zerk (grease) fittings you MUST remove it, as well as when performing oil changes etc.

The purpose of the skid plate is to protect the vulnerable underbelly of the H2 when offroading. Or maybe when onroading if you drive over giantic curbs. Removing the skid plate should not be any problem whatsoever as long as you do not drive over anything high enough to hit the bottom of the Hummer. I left mine off for a week and never even thought about it, except for noticing how much better it looks with the skid plate in place. But, if you want the skid plate to REALLY look nice, send it to Bright-Lee for polishing!

He does fantastic work and I am glad I had him polish mine...
