First the Shovel mount. Decided to go ahead and make a hinged type of holder with misc. items laying around and ended up using a U bracket and a door hinge, works great

Now the "skid" plate i found on a trail out by the river and decided to grab it (been there for quite a while, and it wasnt ripped off, it looked like someone threw it there) but took it and it lined up perfect with my truck to hide the radiator supprot and bumper brackets. cut holes for my tow hooks though.

have to take better pics with more light, cant see it cause its black
