That skid is the stock plastic skid. It's really just a twig protector.

Barton's radiator skidplate bolts to the frame directly in front of the radiator. It shouldn't interfere with your brush guard... but your brush guard might be interfering with your clearance. No, it is.

The brush guard I know interferes with the ground clearance, but I can work with it. The plastic piece in the front needs to come off, it's more in the way then anything. Not sure if that will make any diff. with the rad plate. The oil skid plate is plastic and brittle :wallbash:
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.

That is just a plastic cover. The dip is to clear the oil pan drain. Go into the vendor section and check out bartonmd. There area lot of pics of the skids and how they attach.
