I'm fairly new to this site, so if this is already a thread I guess I didn't search well enough for it.
Has anybody bought/fabricated a 'skid plate' for this exhaust pipe tip area? I work outside in the desert driving trails most days in a pickup (sadly, not my Raptor). I've seen enough people crunch their tailpipe from going down a steep enough slope with a severe angle at the bottom. It's usually pickups and SUVs. I think that the only reason I've been spared is the drop hitch on my work truck provides just enough to slide through the bottom of the slope, sparing the pipe.
I've tried searching for a product like this online, but with no luck. I wouldn't figure that it would be that complicated (but then again, I'm no mechanic by far), just a metal frame around the exhaust tip at it's end. This might also serve as a backup yo support the pipe if the main mount breaks while bouncing around.
Discuss, mock.
