[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 444803, member: 19161"] So, doing some reading. This is the OEM gas tank retainer/skid plate (it acts as both): [ATTACH type="full"]120511[/ATTACH] The video shows the guy removing this part, cleaning it up and reinstalling with an aftermarket skid plate bolted on top of it. This OEM part alone is over $500. I would be concerned that putting a skid plate on top of your gas tank retainer/skid plate in the condition it's in will only lead to rusting out a perfectly good skid plate in no time. I concur with the Vman and would also suggest as a temporary fix is some steel or aluminum straps that you can bolt into the same locations as the OEM bracket/skid. [/QUOTE]
