I looked and no one had done it so i figured i would. Its not that difficult of a project to do and as far as skill level im going to rank it as a 1 out of 5.

Things you will need:
1: Jack
2: jack stands
3: Allen keys in sizes 4mm and 5mm ( or in my case allen key sockets)
4: Box end wrench 13mm

Open the box from PBM and you should have the skid plate:


you should also have 2 short 4mm allen key bolts 2 fatter 5mm allen key bolts with nuts to match. 2 large washers that go with the 4mm allen bolts. a plastic spacer a small washer and a long 4mm allen bolt



the easiest way to get everything line up is to install the 2 shorter 4mm bolts with their washers into the 2 large circular holes in the skid plate. these two bolts screw directly into your control arms

once you have those two in it makes it easier to move the skid plate around as needed to line up the two rear bolts with their holes. the 2 5mm bolts go into the crossmember, there will be holes just slightly larger than the bolts, in the pinch seams of the crossmember, just under the stearing arms. put the bolt through the hole and screw the nuts on.

the last bolt goes into the radiator support. you need to put the bolt through the washer then through the skid plate then put the plastic spacer on in between the skid plate and the rad support and screw it in.

after that tighten everything down.
NOTE: The washers for the two 4mm bolts are weak and if they arent completelly covering the hole in the skid plate they will bend. so make sure that they completelly cover the hole before tightening all the way down.

Final product:


ride height this is why i wanted the skid plate....
