Spent the weekend putting new goodies on.

I had originally polished my skid plate so every time I changed my oil she would get a buff job. Now I just like to get a better view at whats going on down there with it off. Check the front diff etc.

POLISHED the skid plate...?! O.K.

Yes polished. When I bought my truck nine years ago I had the skid plate polished to a mirror finish. In order to keep it that way i had to keep polishing it. After a while that got old. I just find it easier for me to continue to remove it and then do my work under there.

Yup, I polished mine a couple times too using the same polish I used on the back wheel of the 1999 HD Night Train. Now I don't bother with it.

I too take the skid plate off when I do a lube, oil and rotate the tires so I can look around at the underside of things.

Different strokes for different folks

Why dont you polish the skid up all nice and shiny then clear coat the ****er- Never have to deal w/ it again.

If I ever shine it up again that's what I would do. I have seen a couple skid plates with the H2 and the surrounding area painted different colors. I liked the way it looked.

I guess I'm from a different school of thought...the more I beat mine up, the better I think it looks!

I mean...fuk making it look pretty, it's a SKID plate. It's made to take abuse, not be tarted up like a serving platter.
