That is not a skid plate it is a differential guard, used to protect the ring gear from having differential housing smashed into it.  It needs to welded to the housing.  So it could work if you have a steel front diff.

Sean Devinney at AFTERMARKET4X4 makes skids for the front and rear of the 2nd generation Suzuki trucks.  He makes them out of 10 gage steel.   They are almost bullet proof and the fit is almost dead on.  He is an honest broker.  Shoot him an e-mail and ask him about the cost of a front skid for the front of your truck.

His website hasn't been working (for me) the last two times I attempted to visit his web page, but it is: AFTERMARKET4X4
