[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 426992, member: 18629"] I did all the welding and repairs myself and had a lot more to work with on my skid pan. I had two skid pan bolts break off while trying to remove them and found the frame was rusted very thin around the nutserts The nutserts can be replaced if the frame is good enough to take new ones. I ended up buying a new pair of center frame channels from eBay for about $60 and welded them in. They're predrilled and have nuts welded in place. My skid pan had some slight wear around the bolt holes so I welded in some flat steel pieces to beef them up. My total cost in materials was about $100 but you may be looking at around $300 just for the skid pan. I'd look for a used one in good shape for less and then ask around if more welding is needed.
