Skid Plate Question?

This might be a lame question...

Is there a decent front skid plate that covers most or all of the front cross-member?

I don't know why, but I hate that it shows so much. It seems out of place and unfinished to me.

 

Search

 

I have searched and found nothing that answers my question...if you happen to know of something, spill it rather than not being helpful!

Again, maybe you missed the question.

I'm not looking for any skid plate, I'm looking for one that covers most or all of the front cross-member. In all of the pictures I have seen, they don't seem to do that. The point is, maybe none of them do, but since I didn't know, I asked.

 

Anyone?

Looking for the best way to protect (read cover up) the front cross-member below the bumper...

 

Pelfreybilt makes an awsome skid.

 

Those do look nice but they don't hide the front cross-member...

 

Make your own or call one of the manufacturers and have them make you a custom one. Done.......

 

I have seen one on here that kinda does what you're talking about but I'm trying to remember where I saw it. Give me a min.

You can also unbolt the bumper "wings" on the outer part of the front crossmember.

EDIT - Ok, I think BudBuilt was the one I was thinking of. They kind of cover most of the crossmember, and you can unbolt the outer wings to further "hide" it.

I hadn't thought about trying to get one of the fabricators to do a one-off, that might work!

I appreciate the suggestions, and if anyone comes across something, please let me know.

 

See above.

Or....
Buy a front plate or hybrid bumper. That will hide the front crossmember for sure

 

Yeah, that's what I passed on to him in the post above. Don't think he's seen it yet.

That covers some of it, I have cut off the tie-down loop so that is no longer in the way. I'm going to contact them and see if could be extended to cover the whole cross-member.

 

While I dont think this is quite what you are looking for, this is my personal favorite skid plate.
