Skid Plate? Alternatives? What do i do?

that was a stupid title but oh well. i recently high centered in some deep clay, dug around for hours, until after dark and finally called a buddy to come yank me out of the hole. well in the process of yankin me out backwards...it bent up my skid plate. not the whole thing but like the second half of it. the part that extends from the very front skid plate and covers the transfer case, front diff, etc. it is no longer any good. well anyway...what are some options for replacing that? i know i can go to junk yard and stuff but what are some things you guys have done? maybe post some pics of one's you've built or some low cost alternatives?

budbuilt makes a cool product. its functional, beefy, and adds a nice look to the front end.
