I run the OEM skid plate on mine, but if I go to a deep sump set up, I will work with UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) plastic, it is use by all the off roaders, easy to work with.

I really really wanted the ROW M030 suspension, but bought a used PSS9 set because of how expensive that got.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

I added isolation material at each mounting point to get rid of a heavy resonance into the cabin - it worked about 95%.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Now that the OE skid plate costs 3x more than it did a few years ago, are there aftermarket products out there as good or better?

POST 2Original post

Don't know if its as good or better than stock as I have never messed with a stock one...But for a lot of money and a little DIY modding the LN seems pretty robust.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What's the modification you have to make? And if you don't have the deep sump does it adjust up, or do you lose as much ground clearance whether or not you actually have the deep sump?

POST 4Original post

I was curious about your statement on price increase. So I looked up where a purchased mine from, WOW. They went from $125 to $390 in less than two years. It reminds me of the X51 3.6 CIA, years ago it went from less than $1000 to over $3000 in less than a year. I should have purchased a bunch of skid plates for a 401K

I added isolation material at each mounting point to get rid of a heavy resonance into the cabin - it worked about 95%. Apparently, this issue affects some and not all according to LN - but I definitely had it. No adjustment, so you will have about 2" between stock sump and skid plate.

It has happened to every performance related part for them. Part of their transition from brand for people who love cars to brand for rich guys. I really really wanted the ROW M030 suspension, but bought a used PSS9 set because of how expensive that got.

It made me check too. $101.90 on 6/16/17 and now $308.49 Same thing happened with the ROW M030 suspension package.

If you can, please post a template. Really can�t see how some bent sheet metal is worth what LN and Porsche are charging.

If you make one, and it mounts not on the engine (i.e. like the LN one, not like the factory one) but it is set up to not waste ground clearance for those of us without deep sumps, I'll be a customer. From motorcycles I know how asphalt grabs aluminum and rips it off the car but simply glides on plastic.
