Here is some info and pictures to build it. The plate can be gotten here for a good price.I used Sibe Automation https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KRDBMRO/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1FWWCVO9POVQF
I used a jigsaw, drill, and belt sander to put a little bevel on the pan. 148159148160148161148162148163First picture is the template, second picture is width of the plate 20 1/4". Third picture is overall length 19 5/8". Forth picture is old plate on the template. The bottom of the old skidplate needs to be 3/8" from the bottom of the template before marking your holes to mount the plate. I used the same 6 bolt pattern from the old skid plate to mount the new skid plate. You can cut it 20 1/4" inch wide and drill your holes. Mount it with all the screws and from that you cut the noise to either fit or do like picture 5 and mark it and remove and cut the noise to your liking.

They are pretty easy to make. Only thing is the cost to ship these. Big companies pay a flat rate and would probably be twenty to thirty dollars to ship.

Had to do some editing to the post. Had posted the wrong measurements. It is 20 1/4" wide by 19 5/8" tall.
