Default skid row transfer skid

anyone have one on a 2000 or similar? i just got mine and i think it fits like s**t . im wondering if i got the wrong one or something. anyone have a pic of theirs installed. they say its designed so u can use it with a t-case drop but i have almost 4 inches between the plate and the cross member. it hangs down so low in the back too that i feel like ill loose a lot of ground clearance. i think im gonna have to ship it back and find another option. what is a good skid plate that i should look into?

ship it back and get the warn one. some will only work with a real tcase drop which is really idiotic.

i thought it was a pretty stupid idea too. if anything they should have the option. how does the warn one get installed? will it fit with the skid row engine skid? that takes up about half the surface area on te crossmember

everyone i know who had a skid row

had it fit like crap

good skid if you want it there to protect the t-case a few times, but if you play in the rocks often look into something better
