homemade skidplates/armor

[vortec]

even with my new taller tires and the 4" lift i'll install soon, i have a feeling my skidplates will still see action. i know some people on here have built their own skidplates and body armor. show off your fab skills (and spill the beans on cost if you're willing).

i'm especially interested in protecting the tranny pan and engine oil pan.
