Mine is really rusted out. Anyone have one for my TJ? Stock would be just fine.

Does it still need to retain the factory shape, or are you looking for a personally customized version?

any of the above. It just needs to hold the gas tank.

You have 1? How much?

Mine is a bit mangled.  Came down on it so hard the right side of the tank sits 2" higher than the left.  But most of the bend is in the cross member.  I am heading to UORC tomorrow to have the guys take a look and see if I can swap in an aftermarket skid without replacing that cross member.  If the crossmember has to be cut out and replaced it is going to have to wait until after Christmas, but if not I am going to try and swap it out next week.  I think you could beat it back into shape, the other creases and dents are mostly in the corners, and none in the fuel pump dimple.  If we can get it off without cutting it's yours.
