Skid plates

I am trying to find out if anybody makes skid plates for the F150/Expedition. My Expy has the factory plates in front, under the t-case, and under the fuel tank. The trans pan is pretty exposed though, any ready made solutions or do I have to mave one custom made? I also would like a little protection for the front diff. The front plate doesn't cover it at all and the aluminum housing is below the crossmember.

I am just going with 33" tires on stock 17" wheels, a budget boost in back, and maybe a slight t-bar tweak if it needs it. A little extra armor would make me feel much better as rocky as the trails are here. Any ideas?

Warn and Rancho might make a front diff cover, but as for tranny pan, you are going to have to make one yourself. I made one for my truck. Although, I have seen some 4x4s with some dented tranny pans with no leaks, so maybe they are tougher than they look. Just depends on how much time/money you want to put toward the thing.
