A Skid Plate is sheet of thick metal angled from the front bumper to the lower front axel. Most commonly found on 4x4s but not always so.
The idea is to glance the truck over whatever low lying solid oblect that might cause serious damage to the underside of one's vehicle.

Usually this one piece of metal differentiates between the hardcore fourbyers from the weekend warriors.
