I would recommend a skid plate from the front crossmember back to the rear gearbox crossmember to protect the front suspension and the rear crossmember itself. Then one under the gas tank. I bought the two front Calmini plates but ended up modding them to fit. I don't see any reason why you couldn't make them just one plate.

Ditto on what he said.

Skids from the front to the t-case cross member.  I've got some in mine, and use them all the freakin time.

Mine looks very similar to that, except i have the aftermarket4x4 front skid, then calmini tranny, t-case, and rear diff skid.

Sorry, i don't think i have any decent pics of them, yet.
