But hey I had them and they may have saved me an oil pan on some off road adventure I guess. I’ll never know for sure. Came with the package. My current 2022 GMC Sierra SLT has skid plates too. I’ve got the X31 package. Jim Last edited by jabNE; 08/22/23 06:17 AM. Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

It'll belly up on that skid plate with 3 or 4 tires in the air NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers
