Are there any bolt-on OEM style crossmembers you would recommend? I would prefer it to have provisions for the factory skid plate as well...seeing as I don't have any fab/modification equipment at my disposal right now.

The holes in my original member are wallowed out. And the Rugged Ridge doesn't appear to have the nut inserts for the skid plate...

Why not weld (or have welded if you cant) washers the same thickness as the crossmember to the outside of the crossmember to get your holes back?
