When you're finished with yours go ahead and brew me up a plate for the gas
tank. :-)

I am currently making my own transfer case skid plate. The are
braces/crossmembers in front and behind the tcase with holes already punched
in them(2 on each brace), for what....not sure, maybe factory skid paltes
used to be an option. Either way I am utilizing these holes for my tcase
skid plate. So far I have spent $5 for a nice an thick 1/4" piece of 12"x24"
steel stock. I have already drilled the holes(4 of them, drill bit I already
had) on the steel, and have sanded it down. All I need to do is to put a
coat of automoticve steel primer on it($3 can of spray paint) and paint it
with some cool looking Rustoleum Hammered Metal Finish($4 can of spray
paint) that I like. Overall, with some Grade 8 bolts and hardware, I should
have myself a pretty darn heavy duty skid plate for around $20. Not bad.
