There is a discussion about the skid on the other forum. For the price I ordered one and should take delivery today although it should have been yesterday but FedEx got lazy and drove right past my house.
The oil drain hole supposedly doesn't line up perfectly. The mounts for the front that attach to the motor mount area are just flat stock and should be reinforced before installing. Someone had clearance issues with their prorock D44. I will post pictures if they deliver it today.

I finally got the skid plate. It was packaged well and looks OK. Between powder coating and shipping and can't see a lot of profit.
I haven't installed it yet. I have to relocate my evaporative canister and install new muffler in front of axle. Then I can install my transfer case skid and the new engine skid.
I did a quick mock up of it and one hole on the transmission cross member doesn't line up but my cross member is beat up. It may also require minor trimming in the front corner to clear the webbing on the Rubi axle.
The oil drain hole seems OK, but the hardware is cheap. There were no instructions but I heard that the Rock Hard instructions will work.

Just installed this today. Used the rock hard instructions. Looked and fit as per the rockhard. One hole is a bit off and missing one bolt. Otherwise seems pretty good.
