Default skid plates
I'm thinking about making a skid plate, as I daily drive my boosted tib with a 4 inch drop.... I'm going to use sheet metal but I'm not completely sure what to do. Suggestions? Or has anyone done this before?

The street trucker guys weld a few pieces of chromoly to be the lowest part of the vehicle



It's strong and decently cheap

Yeah I would go with a few pieces of like 1/8" flat bar that is at least 1" wide and fab them into skid plate bars.
