when changing oil on 01 pathy i had to remove skid plate to access filter. problem is the screws were rusty and some broke off. any recommendations on how to replace screws? is skid plate necessary? thinking of drilling out screws and replacing with self tapping screws..... is this all necessary or is the skid plate just not worth keeping on the vehicle? any suggestions would be helpful.

If you don't off-road or rock crawl, then the skid plates aren't necessary.

Pick up some wire ties/straps at any hardware store and strap the plate up that way. I only have to strap the skidplate up in two or three places and it holds just fine, and snug.
