skid plate question

[DREWR13]

Question, I have a Badlands with Sasquatch 4 door and looking for skid for the trans that covers these crossmembers or supports. I highlighted them in the pic below. Mine are all beat up from wheeling and I would like to limit the damage to them.

............... and Metalcloak are the two I think of off the top of my head.

I plan on just cutting them out and replacing them with some round tube and higher so they won't catch stuff.

Thank you, it annoys me that they hang so low. I just don't understand why they designed them like that. Mine look destroyed already. 1k seems steep though.

I plan on cutting them out & supporting higher as well. Still need my Bronco to figure it out though
Once completed, please post pics of your solution if you will Sir

My JCR trans skid completely protects that area, but u have to pair it with their engine skid

When Ford decides to build mine, I will be more than happy.

@DREWR13 check out LoD’s. Should work with factory skids. My only hesitation is weight. Their stuff is no joke.

It may be possible to use JCR’s with a little modification to the factory plate:

Oh nice that LOD might fit the bill. Seems like its the best option for the $$$

Oh, I though you had yours. I might just beat you as I'm scheduled D-Day week. Delivery might be another thing coming though

LOD transmission skid should be a hard pass, it needs to be extended to cover the cross member. I hit that bent piece on everything, need a smooth skid covering the cross member so you don't roll the rock and cause more damage.

Are you saying you hit this area? (circled in red)

This is the damage I'm trying to limit btw. Oh and ignore the dirt, haven't figured out a way to clean under it yet

This spot, its is right at the break over when wheeling. JCR has a smooth transition and less likely to roll a rock vs sliding over. I couldn't make it over an obstacle as I couldn't slide over the rock but kept rolling the rock into my fuel tank. Not bashing the product as this plate would be an improvement, just not worth it for my intended use.
