If you plan on any rock crawling I don't really recommend the Rusty's skid. After Jackhammer mine was literally wrapped around the bottom of my Atlas.
I'm now running the ORGS heavy duty crossmember/skid and have beat the heck outta it. This thing ain't gonna bend and is really well made.
I like your design. What's the thickness of steel you used to make that skid. I plan to make mine from .188 steel and add ribs to strength it in the appropriate places. I may also fasten the entire length (say 24 to 30 inches) to the unibody from the cross ember to the cat.
Good work.
I've got a Skid Row t-case skidplate and like it, but I did not lower my transfer case and it has a bit of a funny angle to it. Does anyone know of a high guality skidplate that is designed to be used without lowering the t-case? If you do then I'll have a Skid Row plate for sale right after I get the new one installed.
