Not sure on that exact plate. But procomp makes a stainless steel one.
And if you want real beef get a budbuilt

the one in the op looks like a dressed up version of a stock skid plate or some one made one that looks like it in their garage. Not that hard to do with some sheat metal. These guys that are telling you about the budbuilt skid plate are speaking the truth as bud makes some tough stuff that works as opposed to just looks good. Well worth the money as it looks good and backs it up with performance and protection.

Budbuilt is the only way to go. Especially if you get one used.

I think it may be from northwest offroad. If I remember correctly it was in their catalog several years ago. It may have been for a bracket lift also.

so for a budbuilt, do you have to drop it every oil change?

No. You can either drill a hole in the skid plate to get a tool in there to unbolt the hole, or you can buy one of these:

After researching and talking to Northwest Offroad, you ar right sir! They no longer sell them because the guy that made them for NWOR retired! Just thought I would share my findings with everyone else! I have started leaning towards the BudBuilt one now anyway!

Good decison. I haven't looked back on mine. its heavy to take on and off though. so be sure to buy a oil drain valve for oil changes.
