Agreed, looks great. Where did you get the skid plate and how much?

it is the same as the other posters it is a rough country end caps. they are nicer in my opinion then the vdp plasic end caps as they are made of steel and are very solid when mounted. mine might look shorter because I have them as snug against the stock bumper humps. just do a google search for the skid to get best price. I ended up getting off from ebay for $200 shipped. it is well made and easy to install. check amazon ebay etc. I know they would go fast when they were in stock

Thanks man

I was going to leave them a little longer myself... but I cut them a shorter by mistake. I'm getting a new front bumper soon, but I wanted a stubby bumper sooner than I could afford paying cash for, and I didn't want to put it on my credit card, so I chopped mine

My wife was like you're gonna do what?? I was like I'm just going to chop the ends off the bumper.... then she came outside and saw what I was doing She was like... ooookkkk... and went back in the house. lol

Its pretty easy to do. You'll need a sharpie, measuring tape... (measure twice cut once... lol in a rush I didn't), cut off/grinding wheel, a sawzall, socket set, primer and paint....., oh and 6 pack of your favorite brew.
