Finished Building/Mounting the skid plate. I'll post pics as soon as I can (Took a bunch but found out the camera didn't save them). A quick run on the highway doing 55mph looks like it pushed the mileage up to about 29mpg (still have center grill block removed). so give or take a 2mpg increase if it's reading right. Not bad for about $12 worth of parts and a couple of hours of labor.

Now if I only did more highway driving. at least it will make the quick highway trips across town a little more worth while.
