Aftermarket motor skip plate?

[boogielander]

Is the overall quality comparable between the two? I'm thinking about doing the same thing you did but curious how does the metal gauge etc compare?
Oh also, any issues with them overlapping or was it all straight bolton?

not sure about vice, BUT i can attest that the RCI is good for dragging on rocks.
done that to mine many times on my previous rig and my customers have done it numerous times as well.

one thing to note is Vice is designed around Laramie, big horn, limited. The RCI is tailored to fit the Rebel. A member recently on here added the RCI front motor skid and it leaves a pretty big undesirable gap between the front bumper and plate itself and looks like a clipping point or spot that would get hung up on approach.

I was hoping it went all the way up to the front bumper. Gap looks huge still, Can you post a pic from a little further away

I would say that I was also surprised it didn’t go further forward, but seeing pictures above of the Rebel I can understand why they cut it short to fit all models.

Mine is a Laramie, and there’s about 6.5” between front of plate and bumper at the middle without the front air dam installed on my truck. When I put the air dam back on, there is no gap between the bumper and skid plate.

It all depends on how you want to run it. If you want to keep your front...
