Seeking your opinions please.
I really appreciate the build quality and look of all of that new hardware under the front end and am considering removing the skid plate until I get something better that aligns with the bumper & winch combo that I haven’t picked yet. I probably will not end up selecting those until later this year after I have had a chance to attend some Jeep gatherings and see how various bumpers look in the real world vs. pictures. My only reason for removing it is to see all that new hardware because I admire it in the way people appreciate steam punk art. I have always liked looking at mechanical stuff such as external pushrods, carburetors, and aluminum finned covers on older motorcycles and like these suspension components in the same way.
so, here is my question: given that the version of skid plate under the front bumper on this model is essentially a plastic thing that probably does more to keep things somewhat cleaner than nothing and provides limited protection, would you remove it or wait until you have the more substantial replacement because having it there is indeed better than nothing?
