My skid plates are stock but it's missing the skid plate that covered the fuel tank and man... the ones I have are banged up like crazy! I actually want to replace the front skid plate because When I remove the lower front valance it's going to be noticable the bolts are just sticking out.
I like the one you had originally on the front (i guess aftermarket) and would be great on mine, where would I get that?

ps. I like the shield/brushguard on yours and the front hitch. When that winch is on it's going to look killer.

I may have to copy you then... It does have that off road feel to it. I was looking and I noticed that it covers the intake and bolts to the bumper, I have a shield on my truck too if I could weld I'd weld a peice of sheet in between the shield that would look awesome.

Okay Got them installed today. They came out sweet! I thought the transfer case plate was for the transmission oil pan. (I know Hans5.2 has said it but I thought maybe it covered both.) That plate was off already when I was removing them from the junkyard. So I didn't know how it was mounted. Now that leave the transmission oil pan vulnerable. I will build my own plate for it. Hopefully within the next week or so. I will post up pics of it.
Front Skid plate I made a while back. I mounted it to the bottom of the bumper with a long strip of metal on the other side of the plate to reinforce the bumper. On the bottom side It just bolts up to the frame. The custom front hitch is what you can see in front of the skid plate.

Yak.... more pics of the receiver on the front? I'm doing that this spring..
I also have a set of factory skid plates sitting behind my house that are going on in the spring when i put my diff in it
best parts truck i ever bought!
I'm going to weld some bars on them to strengthen them up.
I have never seen the gas tank one though , kinda sad I dont have one..
