I'd be in for that too, if not the hardware. I'd pay money for a PDF drawing of it just so I don't have to do the maths LOL. I have a bandsaw and a shop press with the SWAG press brake attachment

Since I am not a sponsor here, I can't simply announce a kit and pricing, which is only fair since that's what the actual businesses and sponsors pay for the privilege to do. I am open however to helping other enthusiasts out depending on how much work they are willing and able to put into this project since it will require some elbow grease to do. I am not about to go cutting everyone's skidplates for them! Whether you can do it from scratch with assistance or not, please PM me and we can talk details!

Update: Regarding customization of the skidplate. The OEM badlands skid plate has only 4 bolts holding it in, In these photos, you may notice that there are 5, and later the bolt which used the OEM diff bracket was removed.

This middle bolt is using an otherwise unused weldnut available right next to the diff bracket. I had previously modified my skidplate to use that additional weldnut per the install instructions for the Lobo hidden winch skidplate. I later forgot that that was a modification I made and thus forgot to mention it here.

If you modify your OEM skid plate with this diff drop, and lose the mounting attachment there, you will definitely want to modify your skid to accept a bolt in the unused hole next to the diff bracket.

Don't hesitate to reach out to me for questions regarding this project.
