Do we like steel or aluminum? Anyone poking holes in the aluminum?

 

Aluminum. No punctures in mine, just some scratches.

 

I have the Columbia Overland aluminum skid plate:

Columbia Overland Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic and Defender Aluminum Fuel Tank Skid plate

The fuel tank is well protected even though it is aluminum.

 

Wow that's a good price, cheaper then steel ones

 

Get this one. My friend has one and its good.
Land Rover Discovery I Fuel Tank Skid Plate Rock Armor | eBay

 

dusty needs a DII skid plate

 

Just looked and Columbia offerings do not seem to be available and that rock armor is only d1 on the b4x4 site

 

Fish I just ordered that; one 188 shipped wow and its thicker then other aluminum ones I have seen thanks for that link, find me a low priced one for the transfer case lol

Also rear radius arms, front pinion skid

 

Got the skid, is there an easy way to hold up the gas tank without ruining some ratchet straps

 

Hmmmm, I think I used ratchet straps to keep the tank in placed while I "offered up" the gas tank skid. Once the skid is in place with a jack you can pull the loose end of the strap out. At least that's the theory, anyway.
