3rd gen skidplates

i searched for a while for this but didnt find much. i cant seem to find anyone who sells a skidplate kit for the 3rd gen runners. i want the bellypan plate and not just the front covered. so far it looks as if my only choice is to go to a shop and have them make me one but are there any fab design plans out there for the 3rd gen that i could try and make my own up? thanks

I'd like to know this as well. It would be nice to have more protection for the underneath of my runner.

Not sure if they are still selling them, but you might want to ask. I know you want the front too, but TC used to have some options. Give them a shout.

I've got both trail carnage skids, beefy as hell and take a beating like a rented mule.

if you can get the dimensions i will make you a design on solidworks, that was you can also see what it will look like. it should be too hard or expensive.

I had looked at these guys HERE a while ago, and now it seems their prices have gone up by $75-100.

Yeah... about that one. I bought the steel last summer when I made it and it ended up costing over $60 for everything. That was only for 3/16" which is now completely bent up and resting on my t-case. I would strongly reccomend getting 1/4" or bracing the 3/16" one.

So that's the direction we're heading.

How is Armorology to work with?
I've been looking for a shop to start doing to mods to my truck.
First minor thing I need done is to get limiting straps on the front (minor welding?).
Then onto skids, sliders, bumpers, etc.

So far I know about Off Road Solutions, Slee Off Road, and now this place (Armorology).

Trying to find the best mix of friendly people and good prices

Best bet is to PM hhog4dc, that's his Runner in the pic's. I've only dealt w/ Jed 1 time and it was a pleasure. He went out of his way to get a $35 part from the Springs to the Ranch in a matter of a couple hours, so that I could finish a mod.

Brian, PM me about that skid plate.

ORS makes belly skids and transfer case skids. I have personally witnessed the utter abuse of both on Taco's and late model runners. Me and the plate laughed. They also allow removal of the front panel for oil changes.
