A few weeks ago while navigating around some Major grade changes i bottomed out about 4ft back from my rear wheels. The very back of my Rig has a couple of ft long steel rollers, they protect the very back of the Rig. The impact area was the skirt panels that cover what looks like 2x2 aluminum stock. The bottom edge back there is just thin metal rolled down and under the bottom of the panel, this thin metal tore. I bent this metal back under, i purchased some heavy 2x2 aluminum angle, my plan is to paint it match my Rig, then install it along this bottom edge to reinforce the weak area. I will take photos of the modification, Gene.
