Default Skid Plates?

I've been searching for someone that sells skid plates for the 98-03 Durango, but haven't found a soul. The only one I found was for lifted trucks, but mine isn't lifted.

I had someone check on the transfer case one, an original mopar one, and they were able to find one. But, the dealership or business that had it, didn't want to part with it.

Does anyone have any leads out there? I'm willing to put down some money for these skid plates, even aftermarket ones if there are any still out there. I do go off road here in Arizona every now and then. Plus, if I am able to get the skid plates, it means that my Durango will have every option installed on it that year.

the skid plate isnt really that big of a product.. If you were pretty handy with metal fabrication you could make one pretty easy.. but try giving your local dodge dealer a call.. you'll be surprised how helpful they can actually be.. If not the dealership keep checking different junkyards.. they probably dont really account for the part but if you go threw their yards can physically check you may very well find one..

You can find some in the bone yards for cheap although the transfer case dosen't come with one that I know of.

nope.. none on the transfer case.. the only thing the skid plate covers is the front diff.. three bolts on the front frame and 2 on the cross member right behind the front diff.. and its just the front differential too.. they don't to protect the rear diff at all..
