Anyone have pictures of how they look mounted together? Mainly interested where the bumper ends and the slider begins. Thanks!

Did you get the radiator plate from Ben? You may need that to fill the gap

I did not. Was planning on calling him tomorrow to talk about his skid plates as well. Still undecided which way to go so I’ll ask him about it.

Yea, but I have a feeling it's going to be quite a bit of an angle. I'll tackle that soon. I was hoping the camera would land between my ladder rungs and not have to relocate, but alas, it's directly behind a riser.... Yeah the relo looks inevitable.

I think all the skids start where the 3 bolts are in the first pic above. I asked for the plate knowing I would hack the stock plates until I was ready for some real ones. Also, i think it just makes the front look better.

Thanks for the link. Found this of Bens 200. Didn’t know there was that intermediary plate, so thanks for the heads up.Dissent Front/Rear Bumper install instructions (LX)

Whatever you go with, consider whether it will help you slid over stuff as it makes contact with rock....or actually keep you from skidding over stuff because of protrusions. Catch-points & protrusions are the enemy when it comes to effective skids. **Gaps** become catch-points as well...especially if trying to turn your way off of a central high point.

Yup, thanks for the heads up. Just re read the thread that goes over the pros and cons, in a very professional manner I might add.
I’m not committed either way yet, I’ll just be in Bens neighborhood soon. Hopefully convenience doesn’t play too much of deciding factor.
I was leaning bud built, but was confused as how it would line up. Seems like my confusion was due to the piece listed above.
bashed the stock plate pretty hard, so gotta do something.
