| I'd leave a bit more material between the holes and chassis outlines. Some of the holes are quite close to each other too. |

| Having the bottom curved like that is detrimental to what you want the skid plate to do...skid  When that drags over something, the rock or edge that you're dragging over will get hung up in the arch....Unless of course you use a flat skid across the two bottom most holes in the plates and the side plate design at the bottom won't actually match the skid shape. |

| If you put the skid flat across the bottom but left the arch, then you could keep the look but still have a functional skid. Something like this, but you'd still need to round over the bottom points near the skid. |

| The new design looks much more capable. What kind of material are you thinking of using? |

| would this chassis use the stock wk tranny? or another? you should make some mounts if you tend to use the original tranny. |
