with the LT mud guard up front,you wont have any mud in there with the HYDE skid plate

Brilliant!

I had tabs welded to my frame that made install painless. Before that I would tape the front mount to the end of a coat hanger or similar thick wire and use that to position it to get the bolts started. Once the bolts are snugged up you can just pull the wire off.

I ran the combo guard for years. It wasn't thick enough and I trashed both frame rails and had to replace the frame. A 3/8 thick extra plate of hdpe plastic bolted to the bottom solved that issue.
