I ordered my Skinz Float Plate from Royal Distributing (as much as I hate to admit it)

Don't bother with the float plate... I bought it.. .used it without the hole, then cut smaller holes... then cut the big hole they sent the diagram for... and it didn't matter, I had ice building up between the plate and the sled bottom every way...
I now switched to the Roest aluminum skid plate... offers way better protection.
BTW Where you from?

Ya I seen that Royal had them. Trying to find a distributor that has them so I can get my dealer cost on it.

X2 on passing. In the powder it holds SOOO much snow on top of the plate and then it turns to giant chunks of ice from the engine heat, then blocks off all few cooling intakes there are, leading to overheating and clutch heat. I ended up cutting all but the center section away. Had to keep it since you have to drill out some OE fastener holes. Also, does not fit with OE front bumper. Mine was way off and when i called to ask why, they said it fits 3 styles of front bumper, and the OE fit is not that great. I strongly suggest not getting it.
