    welcome to the group, give us some more info so we can help you out-

    what exactly are you looking for? steel? fiberglass? tube? plate? 1/8 inch? 1/4 inch? Is your VX lifted? does it have a diff drop on it? etc.

    Most members who have the skids got them from Kilby

    http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...ighlight=kilby

    Not sure if you can still get them but it's worth a shot.

    I think the Kilby's are closer to 1/8th inch steel rather than 1/4 inch, but after banging around on them in Moab for a few days I'd bet they will be more than up to whatever you can throw at them.

    Pricey but very nice.

    Trooper skid plates work...bolt right on.

    I believe 1994 ish model....use search function here to verify.

    3 separate plates..cover all the essentials...
    ....have served me VERY well for multiple Moabs

    Try local scrap yards...cost about $70-100 for all three.

    For a lot less money you can get the 3 Trooper skid plates. They get the job done...O have bashed on mine and although battered have done their job.
    Another option is to visit a good offroad fab shop and have them build you one...you shouldn't have a problem finding a shop in California.

    The Trooper plates mentioned ....
    ....are used by some of the more "aggressive" ( extreme.. ) Moab VX'ers.

    Unless you are going to be insanely BRUTAL...

    ..I bet they'd do you just fine.
