Anyone know if you must add nut plates or nustserts into the frame for the front and transfer case skid plates? When I looked at my '91 recently for adding a transfer case skid plate I did not see available mount points on the outer frame rail. Front skid plate mount points were not obvious.
Do you know does the front skid work with 97+? I'm in your area would be interested if you were up for just selling the front one.

On an '00 the holes for the front skid are there. In the lower radiator support. Putting in rivnuts (nutserts) would make it easier to bolt it up but not necessary. You can just do it with nuts and bolts. The mounting points for the back of the front skid are there too. At least one hole is threaded so all you need is a bolt and washer. Any mounting point that does not have a threaded hole back there you will just use nuts,bolts, and washers.Transfer case skid on the other hand I had to put some rivnuts in. Holes were there for them too though. I put all three skids on my '00 that did not come with them. Thing is I am not 100% sure that I got the TC skid mounted right. Never seen one up close and personal. Looking for decent pictures on the internet proved to be challenging.
