    Check your local steelyards for rem. Some will have a brake tobcut/bend to size. Profit. I'm keen to 3/16 that's supported with webbine of 3/4 x 3/4 angle, or straight 3/8.

    You could also check out SkidRow. I have their complete set of skids on my truck and they are pretty solid. I haven't bashed them to hard yet, but have hit a few rocks with them and they are holding up nicely.
    If you do buy them, check out 4Wheel Parts first. They had them cheaper than SkidRow's website and they shipped them to the nearest store for free.

    I have a 3 piece set still available from the group buy that is closed. For a single replacement IFS skid, check the current group buy.

    i got one of ^ skids and they are really nicely made. just make sure if you have an aftermarket bumper that the stock skid still works because i made that mistake and now have to somehow make it work.

    all pro baja.. the holes for the skid on the bumper are a little further in toward the engine and a little lower.. as of now i have my stock skid plate on there.. i literally cut the front 4" off the skid plate and drilled holes to put bolts in to make it work.

    Sorry to hear this man! I make them to fit the stock mounts, and a lot of modifications are hard to account for.

    It's all good completely not your fault. I figured out how I plan on getting it to fit. I haven't messed with it yet because I know my stock suspension wouldn't like the skid plate and bumper so I'm waiting till I get my new suspension to mess with the skid.
