With regard to e-mail, I had a boss that gave me this advice: "If you're chuckling or seething as you type, don't send it."

Just a quick note,, for those making their own skids,, if using diamond plate,, even tho it looks better do not face the pattern down,, it will make you hang up instead of sliding over.. I have made skid plates for dirt bikes out of 1/4" structural alum diam. plate and luckily did it the right way.. My buddy did it the wrong way.. first log crossing I go up and slide over, his bike locked onto the log and he went over the bars.. Now it will matter less on the jeep than a bike but the same rules apply,, your sliding over rocks,, the diamonds of the plate, if on a belly skid will catch and grip the rock instead of letting the jeep slide over nicely..
Just food for thought..
