Skid Plate

Does anyone know where I could by a front skid plate to protect the radiator, intercooler, trans cooler ect.. for a 04 F-350 FX4? I have searched this site and the intenet but no luck. I might have to fabricate something, any pictures of you're custom projects would be appreciated and fun to look at.

Thanks

Those are all above the lower radiator support and blocker beam, you shouldn't really need a skid plate there unless you just want one for looks.

The blocker beam does a good job of protecting from large things like rocks and feild terraces (mine is bent up pretty good) but sticks and cornstalks seem to have a way of creeping up there, I figured a skip plate would cost less that a radiator. A heavy oil pan plate would be nice too. If I had a front end like you, cartmanea, I wouldn't need a skid plate. That thing looks awesome.

Check out TrailReady. This what Ford uses for the SORP (border patrol and such) trucks... You can see it on page 2 of the PDF (see link below). The make them for use with the OEM or TrailReady bumper...
