Yeah I agree 100% on that, this is a test design so feed back is needed for sure. A one piece design would be much better, get rid of those exposed bolts and it would make mounting it much easier. I would go one piece and add a up turned lip to the rear with two extra holes for mounting alone the backside of the cross member.

That would be an easy fix. I can make the design changes in a matter of minutes. You guys want a hole for draining the oil or no? And if so, then where does it need to go?

Sweet, so I'll be adding the oil hole, making a lip on the rear side of the back skid for mounting, bringing the front skid mounting holes up 1" and look into making it 1 complete skid. It might be tough with all of thos bends but I'll look into it. I'll need to get some measurements for that back lip mounting too

True that. I'll try it out

You should still have the mounting holes in the middle for impacts that are not at a 90* angle to the plate there wouldn't be much holding it in place if it were to take an impact from a side load. Easiest way to protect the bolts would be to weld a short piece of pipe to make a 1/4" lip or so around where the bolts go and smooth the weld off so it has a ramp up and over the lip. I don't totally agree on making it one piece though, I think 2 pieces would make things A. easier to assemble and B. easier to ship. Just extend that front plate back to where it meets the second plate and put some tabs on the front plat and corresponding notches in the rear plate so that they lock together.
