1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

In the process of swapping out my dana 20 t-case for a NP205. I have always wanted a skid plate for that area. Seen some pic's of the stock plate, but it's been awhile. Don't see too many out there. Anybody out there got any pic's of the stock plate or any custom setups?

I got mine off at this exact time and will pic it for you later and see if I have pics of it installed. First things first, Church!

This is the best pic I have... xfer case skid and the gas tank skid in the back.

The stock ones were pretty basic.
I always wanted to put a skid plate on my blazer back when I was doing a lot of rock crawling. I never got around to it. With a 205, I can't say that it's really needed. Mine has kissed plenty of rocks and all that ever happened was a few scrape marks. LOL!

Right on! Still might like the stock mount setup! With my lift, Stock plate might just work out ok!

Homemade gas tank skid for my 37gal tank

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Having a plate is a good idea. I just happened to find out it wasn't an absolute must. Having one under the gas tank is another story! Even WITH a skid plate, my tank still got dented. Without it, I would have been walking home more than once! LOL!

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Awesome guy's! Thank's for the pic's! Now I just have to locate one for myself.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

I've got one I'd probably sell you. Anybody know what these go for? Shipping costs? This is in great shape. It just has some real light surface rust from being out last winter.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Yea, very interested. Let me know asap! PM me with details please. Thank's!

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

DBus, I am here and ready, so let me know what's going on. Thank's, Bryan.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Sent PM.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Hey Bryan, in that pic above there are two brackets missing from that crossmember...Just to let you know. The crossmember attaches to both lower and upper frame rails.
On the right you can see the upper frame bracket going up to the top of the frame.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

There is nothing missing. In my picture it shows the skid plate and the rear crossmember. The picture was taken from the front looking toward the back. Yes, the front crossmember does attach to the top and bottom frame rail but not the rear crossmember as it also shows in your picture.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Calm down, I told you yesterday it will take me a few days before I can go out and get it. Probably won't be able to get it sent out until next week since I have to work until this weekend.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

It's cool, just let me know what's up, and when your ready, we'll deal.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

ahh..my bad :uhmk:

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

It's all good, thank's for keeping up!

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

ok i have a stupid question!! Whats the rear crossmember for? I have one as well on my old frame with the skid plate still attached to it but it dosent hook to anything as far as I know. I wasnt gonna even bother putting it in till i seen these pics. Am I missing something?

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Basically the rear crossmember is to to mount the skid plate, am I right guy's?

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

That's been my assumption.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

Thats what I was thinking but i just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something.

Re: 1ST. Gen stock skid plates
 

I have a nice one with extra crossmeber been blasted and powder coated I would trade for factory one for gas tank. Would actually like to see a picture of a factory gas tank one. Never seen one. Thanks Tim
