203 skid plate dimensions

[TJ1978]

can anyone post the dimensions/pics of a 203 skid plate? Not easy to find. I figure I can just make one or ask a friend to if I had the dimensions.

I also would venture if I locate the second cross member I could get the measurements as well. Anyway if anyone has that info for the skid plate I’d appreciate it.

Thanks

Local... late 70’s he says. Looks good to my eyes, but...
Will the cross member work? Kinda hard to tell in pictures if it’s correct, at least to my eyes.

He also has this one...
from the pics of mine on my truck it’s looks exactly like what I have now.... Skid plate looks right as well.

What say you guys?

The first one should bolt up. Double crossmember = NP203

The crossmember I have now is like the bottom pic. But I probably doesn’t matter.

I need the cross member for behind the the 203 and the plate....

So you suggest I should buy the first pic?

Yep. Buy it, clean it up, and install. Should be relatively easy to clamp in place and drill the holes for the rear crossmember once its up there.

Different than one so have, probably the stock cross members for a 203. Hopefully I can make it work

Turns out skid plate is fine. But cross members are not llong enough. Plus my exhaust will be in the way, making it hang down far too low, and be impractical.

Oh well. I can make the skid plate work, just won’t have the second crossmember to bolt to.
