I have to agree (for the most part) with post #9 (boogety boogety), however, as long as you don't mind the extra weight of that steel skid plate along with the additional vehicle service time and/or probable shop labor expense from having to R&R that thing every time you need to get in there, then by all means.

There are many sensitive areas under the chassis that are subject damage should some nasty road debris decide to attack, problem is, you cannot reasonably skid plate the entire undercarriage.
