yeah thats what i thought, but i have to make room for either the nut or stud that will fasten the skid plate to the frame. the other problem is i'm unable to weld a nut in the frame, i guess i could cut a hole in the frame and drill a couple of holes and tack them in.

I think he means weld a plate at a right angle to the frame, then gusset it.  use the plate that is parallel to the ground to mount the skid to.  :thumbs:  Basically copy the way that the stock crossmember is attached.
