Default ARB front bumper & skidplate?

I have the ARB deluxe front bumper and would like to cover the gap between the bumper and the front crossbar. I've trimmed the "wings" off the stock plastic airdam and could throw it on there, but I'm wondering if any of the other brands' front skidplates will fit. I don't mind drilling some holes, or even grinding to the correct width, but the plate would need the correct depth and angles.

Anyone adapted another brand front bumper skidplate to the ARB deluxe bumper?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same bumper.

Skid Row is the main skid I use (engine/tranny); it's beefy, double thickness 3/16" steel.

If their front skid is as well built, it would be a fine investment - and it looks cool.

I've whacked my factory front crossmember once (on Holy Cross). Might be a good purchase for anyone who runs hard trails with the Rubi e-disco motor.

Maybe one of the LOD ones? If David @ Northridge doesn't see this thread, I'll give him a call next week.
