Does anyone on this forum have experience with skid plates from P&P Engineering? I ordered a set of aluminum skid plates and steel sliders that I received on 12/30. Since then I've been trying to work with them on the fit-up and installation because I don't think what I received was fabricated correctly. The front skid plate (they call this the engine skid plate) hangs down almost 4" lower than my control arm. If anyone has a similar skid from them in either aluminum or steel I'm very interested in knowing the dimension at the control arm. See Photos.
My point here isn't to just gripe but try to understand what the issue is and how these products fit on other Xterras. My Xterra has a mild suspension lift but no body lift or anything that may affect what I'm seeing. This skid plate hangs down so low I'd be afraid of getting high-centered on any rutted road. I've had issues with the other skid plates I ordered as well, for instance slotted holes that are too big for the carriage bolts provided and a missing mounting point on the gas tank skid, but all of those at least maintain a tight fit to the underside of the vehicle.
