This skidplate was designed by Ron and he was so kind
to share the information. First off, here's a picture of the
finished product- then we'll get into how it goes together.

Here you can see the protection of the underside
quite well. The entire underside of the engine is protected. |

What is important in this shot is that the plate
covers the area around the suspension arm mount. The area
just forward of that mount is where the shifter mechanism
resides. Many people, including myself, have had problems with
debris interfering with the shifter. When this happens, the
entire vehicle can go dead and stall. |

| FreelanderLiving.com member Peter (pspeyer) sent
in these photos of his custom diamond plate rocker covers. These
are better looking than the ones on the Land Rover concept
Kalahari (pictured here on the right). He says that rock
sliders are in the works... Hopefully he'll share his source.
There is a good likelihood that these will become available
through his friend who makes them. Beautifully done!
Meanwhile, I'm thinking of painting Project Freelander to
match the Kalahari- what do you think??

Here is Peter's Freelander being used properly.
