Default skid plates

Been looking to make skid plates for my 2000 sport. I would appreciate any help on this.

What kind, where? Are you doing a belly-up style mod? Engine oil pan? Have you seen the OE skids before?

I know there are factory plates but all the yards say they are rusted out and scrapped , I have been hoping to find some I can copy.

I live in Ohio where the rust is unforgiving and ours aren't rusted out so I highly doubt that they were rusted out

Well with the salt thats mixed in the sand they use on the highways here in upstate NY I have seen truck bumpers completely rotted out. Due to a spinal injury I needed something to get me in the woods for hunting. So my xj is my atv and I am trying to make it as bullit proof as I can.

What salad said.

What type of plate are you looking for?

I did a flat belly and would not mind checking out the options also. Just have not had much luck searching.

Truck bumpers and the factory skids are two different beasts. Ones like 1/16 and the other is 3/16. One the rust sits in the other rust gets on and washes off eventually.

I think the factory skids would do you good enough if you're just using it as a hunting rig
