No. It came with one.

The center was steel, while the front and rear diff ones are that plastic stuff. Some heavy duty aftermarket stuff available.

Take the opportunity to put a good skid plate on it. Trail Armor is a vendor here. Their skids are good.

Think i'll make mine 3/16th plate steel is enough right? I can drill and tap frame counter sink bolt heads. Any suggestions...better than spending $300 or more

That should be plenty strong enough. The poly ones do a decent job already.

I get saving money but I wouldn’t go all steel. I wouldn’t want the rust and metal on metal that will come with it over time. After three pioneers and two trail armor skid plates I can without hesitation, when I buy another rig it will have another UHMW skid.
