oil pan skid plate?

Do you guys have a skid plate/protector under your MLs protecting the oil pan?

I don't know if you'd call it a skid plate, per se, but mine is a guard that covers the underneath of the radiator/fanbelt area.

Would you mind taking a picture and giving the part number for it? Thanks.

Thanks for the pics! How exactly is it attached to the underbody? I looked and it doesn't seem like I have it. Could you take a picture of it on?

There's so much crap on the roads from this past winter. It's ridiculous.

4 10mm bolts to the underneath of the radiator and belt train. You should be able to spot it by looking underneath on each side. I have it off because of the impending compressor replacement so I'll put it back on when that's done. I may could find a way to get a pic of the ML320, tomorrow.
