Status: offline 		Thought I would share my first piece of custom work. Every time I hit a rock, curb or whatever, I would bend up the front edge of my chassis under the front bumper. I was getting tired of pounding it back flat and worried it was going to break off from the repeated bending. So I got a piece of 3mm thick stainless steel and fabbed it to match the bottom of the chassis. I got some screws a bit longer than the originals and voila! We'll see how it holds up this weekend!

Maybe extend it a little farther forward for a custom bumper/skid plate.
