Default Skid Plates?

Anybody build one to protect the radiators?

Pictures of how you mounted it?

What material and what size of metal you used?

Thanks.

Just smashed my power steering fluid cooler and put a whole in my radiator due to a trailer tongue.

I am talking one that attaches to the bumper and protects the Radiators like a prerunner, similar to so



The Truck slid down a hill 2 feet into the trailer I had parked there a week earlier, the tongue went right under the bumper into the radiator. A new Radiator from Dodge is $850 +. I can build a skid plate for cheaper I assume in case it ever tries to happen again. And it would look cool.
