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.

[budwrman]

3" lifted, I would like to have it thick 1/4 inch and steel.
I am gonna go camping off road soon.

Most members who have the skids got them from 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.

skid plates. They have been known for difficulty of getting a hold of. Keep trying they are a small company

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.

Typing on phone=slow. There are various years that are all identical. There is a thread on hear that lists the part#.

JUST FYI...

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.
