When I clicked on the link that shows the front one that I want, the price is like $37, so I am assuming that one is plastic.  The other 2 that I have are metal, it's only the front one that I would want to replace with metal

Yah I actually still have the metal skid plates that I added to my 17’, I’m going to test fit on my 2020 and see if I can make the front work

It is hard to tell, the one we know is metal is $44.49.  I think I am going to order that front one and see if it is metal...

I have the Spartan bumper from Road Armor and I know they make a skid plate to work with that bumper. Might be worth looking into whether that fits the bumper you're getting.

I actually ordered that skid plate when I ordered the bumpers.  They told me that it wasn't compatible, so I had to cancel it.  They just don't offer anything to work with the Stealth bumpers...

I ordered the Westin 58-71215.  It looks like it will work.  The pictures are a bit contradictory as it shows the finished picture of it being attached to their bumper.  However, that picture looks nothing like the other product pictures.

I received the Westin skid plate.  It is a very solid skid plate replacement for the front plastic splash shield.  It does not require an aftermarket front bumper like the picture in the instructions makes it appear!  I haven’t installed it yet, I intend to do that when I install the bumpers.  I’m hoping for good weather... 

this is what it really looks like:

Did you end up installing it.

How did the Westin bumper fit? I'm considering replacing the front plastic skid on my LM2 Z71 when I get a winch bumper. Not a lot of under carriage options.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
