    Anyone know how to put the skid plates back on the front of the car. I wasn't really paying attention to how I took them off and can't seem to find a good video of how to do it

    The bigger one goes in front and the side that has the two little hooks will line up with a lip or slots on the vehicle. When you have those hooks lined up and on, so you don’t have to hold the weight of the entire skid plate while you bolt it up, all the bolt holes should line up. Once that’s on just shimmy the smaller ‘back’ or ‘rear’ skid plate into the back of the front one so the front of the ‘rear’ skid plate slides into some grooves in the front skid plate. Sorry if that’s a confusing way to describe the process. Slide it in until the rear plate bolt holes line up correctly then bolt that one in.

    Thanks one of the hooks has broken off but I can make it work I'm sure.
