Front Skid Plate
Hi,
Did a search and only found the rocker protection and Mamma and Daddy's...sorry for not going back and getting the right name. Someone had a reference to a great old post.
I just got mid america's mag and see the Front skid plate, bumper savers and skid plate stiffeners. Anyone have any experience? How are these bumper savers at 100 a pair different than the Momma and Daddy's at far less? Any pics of the front skid plate installed? How does it work? I'm out here now in Salt Lake City and will need all the protection I can get to not bust up the front end on these dips.

Looks like from the various posts, they all work and everyone seems to like the ones they got. Makes sense, as you probably wouldn't install one and say, hey, let me try another one. Seems to me that the Mommas would offer more protection with a wheel on each side. If you are at an angle, the outer wheel (or inner wheel) of the momma could contact the suface befor the one wheel of the Daddys and all these other vendors single wheel applications. Looks like along with the skid plate referenced here, that's all everyone does. No one installed that mid-america $320 skid plate?

FattDaddy's from CCA that's what I've been running. If you really want a great investment, order some Rocker Panel Plates from CCA. I wish I purchased them with the FattDaddy's, my Z's going in the shop to fix some damage that another Body Shop messed up.

The Fatt Mommas are what I have, I went with them because I liked the idea of 2 wheels, One on each side of the frame, It just seems to me that works a lot better.
