I banged up my gas tank skid plate pretty good, from what I can tell, due to the break over angle, it is going to take a beating at a certain spot.
I am going to buy a skid plate from a wrecker once it becomes available, and I am thinking of getting a thicker (3/16"?) plate welded to the new piece and replacing my existing one. Is there anyone in the city that can do this for a reasonable price?
A lift is imminent too ;)
Thanks!

I can weld it for ya Z........might even be able to just pound out ur stock unit and reinforce it from there.
Ultimately though...ya gotta get er up higher !! See.....now you can justify that lift to the wife !! ;)

I appreciate that Rubi...
A lift is gonna go in as soon as possible :)
That Rock Hard one is ok, but you retain the stock skid anyway.
$350US + Shipping for a skid is a lot.

The damage is not so bad, however, it seems a bit weak to take a lot more of those hits though.
