Default Looking for Manual trans skid

Hi Everyone, as the title says I'm looking for a manual trans skidplate for my '11 model. Everything I see is either for an automatic or is a skid that is part of a system..meaning the pieces attach to each other rather than being a stand alone skid for the tranny. Does anyone know of a company that makes what I'm looking for?

You can use the factory automatic skid (single bar across the frame that bolts to the transfer case crossmember) if you're really itching for one. I've thought about buying one but I haven't touched my transmission on anything yet and they don't show up cheap enough for what they are.

M.O.R.E. Oil/Transmission skid should do the trick!

Most engine skids cover both the engine oil pan and the transmission. I have been eyeballing Rock Hard 4x4's engine/transmission skid for a long time, I just keep getting distracted with other upgrades.

I bought a new take off for $20 figured I might use it at some point and 2 years later it is still collecting dust

Thanks for the responses. I'll see if I can locate a factory crossbar. Already have a Rancho oil pan skid so don't need a combo unit. Thanks again for an option I didn't even know I had.
