Unfortunately no pics, I did take some during the construction but they were so dark nothing showed up. I don't have a flash on my phone and my leadlight did not produce enough light to make the pics stand out. When I put the plow mount back on for winter I can try some more pics with a brighter light. I understand your thoughts on plastic, I have been a tool maker for 50 years and spent the first 30 yrs working with plastic. There are many plastics that are difficult to break even under cold conditions, take for example, fuel tanks for cars and trucks. The plastic ones require a test from a 30 ft drop while frozen without breaking (filled with water,ice) where a steel tank is only dropped 10 ft so plastics have come along way. I have been thru two winters with mine and no issues on the plastic skid plates, besides they are cheap to replace, all three are only 100 bucks, compare that to aluminum which bends easily and does not return to shape. From my personal experience I like the plastic skids as they glide over objects and return to original shape where steel and alum become a bent up mess. The angle pieces I used run from the forward crossmember over the center crossmember and attach to the third crossmember and are 12" apart. That is how wide the plow mount is, they are 1/4" wall x 1 1/2" angle iron. I did weld some tabs onto the angle iron to be able to attach them to the crossmembers. I really believe it adds strength to the plastic skids as they cannot flex nearly as much which gives me more confidence that something won't pop thru the plastic and hurt the trans or the motor. We took some bone jarring hits on the bottom skids on rocks and tree roots and only had scrapes on the plastic for any damage and the plastic easily skidded over the obsticles.
