Default Oil pan busted

Not sure if this is the correct area but.... Went to Gilmer Texas this weekend and wheeled at barnwell mountain and had a great time. On the last trail of the day I landed hard on my oil pan anf cracked it in a couple places. I've been looking for a benchmark pan without luck. Are they still around? If not I guess a new stock pan with skid will be next. What kinda choices are around?

I think Benchmark went belly up, their site is down. I was looking at the pan and bumper package. Too bad, they looked good. The pan on Quadratec is for the inline 6. I'm still looking for one too.

You got me all excited! Then I took a good look and it's for the tranny, not the oil pan. Duh.

OEM replacement and then an aftermarket skid is your best choice.

Here is the parts breakdown on the oil pan...

So I ordered a new Mopar oil pan, gasket and rockhard skid yesterday. Should have it Monday just hope nothing is to bent to bolt up the skid. Here's the link to a video where I busted the pan.
