For the price it is decent protection & handles off road use just fine. Mounts up easily with brackets in front & rear. I have scuffed mine a few times at low speed on wash outs & large rocks but, has not disfigured the plate. If your just looking to thrash your S10 through massive terrain and/or go airborne, then you may want a more heavy duty (possible steel, not aluminum) plate. All depends on the severity of riding your going to do.
