Is there any way to get the skid on AFTER the bumper has been put on. I had Northridge do everything but the skid wasn't in stock. Just tried to get it on and holy shit is it impossible. It seems like PSC just put the holes in the wrong places, i can't even get a socket onto them! I finally gave up tonight after a few hours of trying to make it work. I really didn't want to take the whole damn thing off, but it is looking that way. Or i might just hack the crash bar off and see if i have enough room with that gone. Anyone have any thoughts on adding the skid with the bumper mounted?

Well, i can update u so far. Holy crap, u cannot get the skid plate on after the bumper is on, no matter what. It might be different for other model years but my 2010 there is ABSOLUTELY no way to get it done. I am to the point now where I took it back off and i will try and cut off the crash bar tomorrow and go from there. I think with the crash bar off it would be doable to put it on with the bumper on, i dunno. I'll let yall know.
