If your looking for something bolt on RPG makes the Pre-runner bumper. It doesn't require any cutting on the frame and is built very well. They can also build it to work with any light set up you want.

Credit for the picture goes to T. June Photography and was taken at Havoc in the hills 2. I shared it from HERE. Everyone else that went to Havoc should check out their pics and buy some of the shots of their own trucks!

@HAYNES OFFROAD i am really having a difficult time figuring out the durability of a carbon fibre skid plate. Is it the same C/F used on exotic sports cars or am i missing something? I know that it is very strong material but how does it hold up to nose dives and what not? Thanks!

I honestly do not know the exact make up of the materials used to design this skid plate. it is not the "standard" carbon twill weave that you would see on most exotics. I'm trying to get some more info on this as I type, as there are many variations of carbon fiber and the resins used to mold them.

With that said, this skid plate is tough. My personal skid plate was actually ran on one of SVC's trucks earlier this year at TRR(?) and suffered a direct hit from a nose dive and only came out with a few minor scratches that you barely even see. The structural integrity was still intact, no cracking. Since then I've stuffed it a couple times as well and it's still solid and like new.

I personally will not go back to aluminum skid plates unless I am rock crawling, which I don't do anyways. with aluminum, once they're bashed, they are bashed, you may be able to beat em back into shape a couple times, but that only weakens aluminum further. The carbon skid will/has taken several hits without losing integrity and would take a VERY hard hit to compromise it in this application, which at that point you better be looking the rest of the truck over for damage.

I also do know that this carbon plating can be found on the bottom of some TT's.

I did a lot of research and decided that the best option for my needs was the Road Armor 614R0B. It should be delivered in a couple of weeks and I'll provide some pictures.

I went with the 4 - Rigid D-Series Flood Lights, and 2 - Rigid E-Series 6" spot light bars, and the winch. So my next question is if I should split the two sets of lights onto two aux switches or put it on just one. Total amps will be <11 for all. (Winch directly connects to the battery). My thinking is that they can't be used on-road, only off, so why bother using two switches. That leaves the others for additional toys. Comments on why I should keep them separate are appreciated.
