Skid Plates
I HAVE SEARCHED!!! having said that, i'm having a hard time finding dimenstions and mounting points to tie in a front skid plate, a trans plate, a Tcase plate, and a fuel cell plate, i got a bunch of diamond plate. enough to make one of each, but not enough to make 2. (i can't mess up the cuts) any pointers or aftermarket dimensions would be great, and pics always help. i can atleast geat an idea of what i want to build.

cardboard is your best friend. not everyone is going to have exact measurements on what they built as most times its spur of the moment. take a bunch of cardboard and cut it up and make it.
Made an entire bumper for an 07 tacoma out of cardboard and took each piece and cut it out of plate and didnt have to re cut a single piece. take your time and measure 400 times to cut once.

gas tank was a no go...
further to the front, NP231 looked a little naked, as far as cardboard only needed a little piece the rest was prett straight forward.
i cut a 14" x 29" rectangle, the used a poor mans break to bend in 2 45 degree angles. (angles determined using a peice of flux wire bend into the shape needed, then bent the plate to match). next 2, 6"x2.75"x1.75" shape was cut out. again back to the poor mans break and hammer into shape. i love my BFH. riveted into position. then it got dark so i quit for the night. check back tomorrow to see it mounted.
