Skid Plate (not another thread on skid plates!)

I recently snapped off the splash shield that "protects" the bottom of the radiator to the crossmember. I know for some time there were not any aftermarket skid plates but in the past year has anything new come out? I know there is a ZR2 skid plate but not sure if that fits a Z71.

This ? Kaufu front skid.

Also if you knocked off the plastic splashguard, I recommend you purchase the 589fab skid support bracket before you bend that thing and need a BFH to get it right again.

I bought the same skid that ARCowboy bought when I busted my plastic spray shield. Good price, has worked well for 2+ years.

I have the GM ZR2 Skid Plates on my '17 Z71 . . . . they fit fine.

I had the factory ZR2 skid on my Z71. I smashed it in on the trail - not as sturdy as I thought it would be. Now I have aftermarket plates that are much sturdier.

Which aftermarket skids did you go with?

Thanks everyone - I bought the Kaufu product. We'll see how it works. Funny name - could it be Chinese??
