Trying to figure out who makes/made this skid, maybe it’s custom for all I know. Let me know tia!

Looks like it’s been used well and held up fine. I think like @Ephry73 , I’d run it And only change it out if you were looking to lighten the Jeep up or do a tummy tuck.

With the way it’s mounted, I would pull it off and check for rust between it and the frame though.

Jeep has 8k miles on it we are good in that aspect 👍🏼
 
I'd name it Karen ;).

But in all honesty, I have never seen that design before. Probably because it's a poor design since it is just full of things to catch on. Ideally your skid will be smooth or ramped with no obvious things rocks will get caught on.

I'd weld a plate over those front tubes and probably the sides as well.

That’s actually the rear of the skid...
They should be covered as well. But with how far down that skid looks to drop, I'd be tempted to scratch it and get something lower profile if you experience any issues with it (e.g. contact)

Depends on how far down it really sticks out. Can always do an aluminum plate with counter sunk bolts/screws and call it good. As mentioned before, ensuring that there is no rust is key.
