    I have a full length skid plate produced by Tone when he was of this world. Problem is, it's HEAVY!!!! it's 3/8" diamond plate steel and bolts directly up, has oil holes for drain and filter.

    I'm in Colorado and you're in Florida, unless you were happening to be going to Moab where I could bolt it on and bring it out then do a swap to yours, shipping would be crazy!

    I can post some photos if you want to see a better shot, I only put it on when needed. I'd have to figure cost and shipping or cost w/o shipping, just depends of if you're interested.

    Don't forget to consider Greyhound Bus shipping for heavy, big items. I shipped my 65 lb back seat to Osteomata in FL, from AZ for about $76, FedEx and UPS were both around $225. I had never even heard of Greyhound shipping until somebody on here mentioned it (gasmask maybe?)

    I bought a large wardrobe box from U-Haul (all measurements are on their website) for about $12, seat fit in perfectly. I dropped it off at a Greyhound bus terminal, and Os picked it up at the GH terminal near him, took about 5 days. If the skid isn't one long giant piece, I think it might fit in one of the U-Haul boxes. I believe GH had a 100 lb limit per box, so it may have to be sent in 2 boxes. Just FYI.
