4KQ SKID PLATE

[Steve Sears]

Shawn,
Visit your local Merc dealer and ask them to call you when a customer who
orders an ML puts the "bush bars" on the front - they discard the aluminum
skid plate.

As I posted on November 8/04:

Paul,
Funny you should ask.  I saw a 4kq a week ago with a _serious_ skid plate.
The car was set up for ice racing, and the plate came from a Mercedes ML
SUV - apparently they remove the skid plate to put on those bush bars to
protect the SUV from...um...errant shopping carts?...and so the skid plates
just sit around (they're very heavy gauge aluminum).  You have to make up a
bracket to attach the back of the plate, but the front just bolts in.  I'm
contemplating visiting the local Merc dealer to see if one would fit under
my 5ktq.
Cheers!
