Quick turnaround skid plate recommendations?

I’m at this very moment out in the middle of nowhere with a trashed front skid plate and scratching my head on how to even approach this lacking ramps…

Man sorry for your hardship. Not trying to be offensive but that isn't a skid plate, it's a debris shield only meant to keep road debris from getting in.......

Time to get a skid plate then

That said, all the dealership and mfg paperwork said this vehicle had skid plates. It’s definitely not steel, but also not paper machee like Subarus debri shield.

Recommend the First Edition skids

How to approach what? Any pics of what caused that? Where are you wheeling?

It turned out not to be as involved as the document posted on another thread made it seem. It initially looked like there were 5 sets of trim to remove in very awkward places, especially on a trail. Turned out to just be one piece of trim and 5 bolts easy to reach. For the front plate at least

The cause was reversing over a rock that normally would clear fine, except that the plate already had moderate damage (I don’t even know from what) that caused the ruined side to hang low and snag on the rock. This is AZ near mammoth

Yup, just the plate got snagged. Wasn’t even a tall rock
