Aftermarket skid plate

I recently knocked off my factory skid plates and am in the market for aftermarket skids. I've had a hard time finding aftermarket skids on the net. Any suggestions for retailers?

Thanks,

hunt down the trailcarnage skids.

I have em on mine and love them.

their web site is toast, but you can mail them at info@trailcarnage.com

Alternate vendor for them is/was(?) www.urdusa.com. You may need to contact them directly as well.

There are several other vendors out there as well; those are the ones I have.

Well of course, but loomisg didn't say he *didn't* have enough money lying around to buy new custom skid plates for everyone on the board!

The only really cheap option is to buy the old skid plates from someone who already upgraded!

So where'd you say you were located, loomisg?

Man, I just checked those out. That's the best looking plate design/coverage I've seen yet! Awesome!

Thank you Scottiac!

Those skidz support the full weight of the vehicle using a piston jack (about a 1" contact area) anywhere on em except the second plates ears that stick in to the void of the lower control arms.
