Removing Front Skidplate
 Submitted by Joel_CA
You can remove both sections of the front skid plate in one piece if you remove the correct bolts. Here's an illustration of which bolts to remove in order to simplify skidplate removal.

Here's an underneath view of the Montero Sport - "A view I see too often for my liking!"
Remove the bolts in the order listed being careful NOT TO REMOVE THE BOLTS CIRCLED IN BLACK!

The last center bolt to be removed is strong enough to support the entire skidplate assembly - which makes it easier to remove since you don't have to worry about holding the plate up (untill you're at the last threads of the bolt that is). If your left handed, you can alter the removal order so that the left center bolt is the last one remaining.
