Fabing a custom skid

Gone&DoneIt

New member
I have spent the last three hours pouring over the internet trying to find plans, schematics, blueprints,... Hell ANYTHING about fabing a skid for a TJ... Nothin... does anyone know anyone that has done this? I need it to clear the Long Arms, and would like to make it out of 1/4". I just cant see spending the 400 for the belly up, or nth degrees,... just seems crazy when it is a piece of plate and some sturdy welds. Thoughts, advice, experience,... anyone???

Thanks all,

Jack

Well along the lines of cost, I just bought a drop piece of 1/4" mild steel, 2 feet by 3 feet. They charged me $29! I just about crapped right there. I know steel is high, but dang. If you plan on building your own, get ready for the material cost to be high.
 

HE CAN STAY!!!!! Thanks Neo!!! I saw the oil pan but not the other two. I appreciate you diggin those up.
