I am getting the LR "original" skid plates next week. Are this skid plates bolt on, or do I need to send the truck to the shop for the install???

Thanks

They all bolt on. You may if unlucky have to ream out one or two holes to get the bolts through.

Pedro,
Dean is correct, they all bolt on. I looked at where they go when my rover was on lift. It even appeared that I might have been able to install them -- so I think you will be able to do it yourself. Good Luck! Jamie

Thank you Dean and Jamie. reaming out a hole or two is no biggie.

Jamie, can you send some pictures of your truck??? I will love to see it.

Thanks again,

Pedro

Depending on the design, you may need to do some gymnastics to get some of the bolts on. But I think generally half an hour you should have no problems at all. Just try!

Pedro, Sometime in the last few weeks I posted pics of skid plates after they were installed. Trust me, you DON'T want to see my truck - it is hidden under just WAY TOO MANY stickers and I seem to keep adding more. I was given some really cool new stickers today. Finding room for them will be a challenge. :-)
