I've seen these CAD skid plates on a couple Youtube videos but haven't been able to find one. My truck doesn't have one but it might be nice if it did.. Anybody know where to get them or what year they came on stock if that is where it came from? This picture is stolen from Wh1t3NuKle's build thread.

 

I haven't found any made aftermarket but all 2nd gens came with them

 

All of them, eh? Wonder where mine went. LOL good to know though. Thank you. Maybe I'll find one at the u- pull.

 

Most people pitch them including me. They are very thin and offer no protection off road. Might stop little rocks, but it also collects dirt which could cause the cad to rot quicker. It's also a possibility to get on lol. Get the part number and check ebay

 

Here you can buy it new

 

I bow to your clearly masterful part finding abilities. Thank you. I looked and looked for that thing.

 

I suck at finding parts just stumbled upon that lol

 

Neither of my second gens had one..... I don't even see any means for mounting them..... How are they held on?

 

They are held on by the lower two CAD cover bolts. I have one on my Dana 60. It appears to be there to protect the vacuum hoses/lines more than anything else.

 

Bottom two bolts for the cad housing. They are very thin and don't do much. Almost everybody tosses then including me
