Default Fabrication specs plans bumper, skid plate, diff guards

I have been looking for some specs to fab my own body parts. I have only found some slider specs through searching the forum. I also would like to get some dimensions for a rear bumper (with a fuel tank skid plate integrated if possible) head and rear light guards, fuel tank skid and diff guards. Would like to get plans for a front skid plate also but don't know if I will fab it, since I have seen that it isn't recommended to close up the disco that much since they run hot. DiscoMike seems pretty knowledgeable and recommended against front to back skid plates in a few other posts I have seen, unless I misunderstood which is possible.... Anyone out there have any prior experience with installed skid plates?

Greatly appreciate any help I can get.

I have made a rear steel bumper and am still working on it. I fabbed it by looking at pictures and scribing up what made sence. I may draw some plans in Google Sketch up.

I have built multiples of bumpers and racks and you name it. I look around at what is out there on the market and then start taking the elements that I like from each. Usually about my third generation I have something I really like. Once you decide what style you like then you can start sketching something up.
