You forgot the two most important tools - Beer (or other choice of beverage) and an assistant to go pick up whatever piece you tossed in the street after realizing you cut/measured it wrong and it didn't fit (not that I would ever do such a thing)

Why build skid plates to begin with. The housings will take a lot of abuse. Just grind the rough stuff off so it will slip off the rocks instead of hanging up. I build differential covers with built in protection from the rocks. Check out my site.

I built the gaurd for my t case because I didnt think my 208 would support the weight of my truck and it lets me slide over stuff rather than get caught on the housing.The front dif gaurd keeps my dif cover safe and gets rid of that flat spot at the bottom of the cover so I can slide over rocks .I wish I would have built something for my fuel tank before I crushed it and tore a hole in it .I consider the gaurds a wear item that can be easily and cheaply replaced.

Do a search for axle trusses with skid plates if you want some... if you find the Pro Comp ones, they suck. They are deisgned for looks not wear. You can get a skid for the t-case at a Chevy dealer. They don't run much either. There are several folks on this site that do metal fab work. If you are in need of something post in the parts wanted section what you want/need and I am sure someone can help you out.
