The skid plate Dimensions are 30" wide by 32.5" long and is made of 1/8th inch steel plate. It is strong enough without being to thick. and it only cost me $50 to do. I attached the skid plate to the front cross member with some bolts through the many pre-existing holes that are already there. it is bolted into soild sturdy locations.
Do you know what the weight difference is between those and the stock 17's?

I want to say each wheel is 2-3 pounds lighter than my stock LT 16's

It will look really good painted and I am going to cut a 3" hole to drain the oil
