I really don't feel like spending a few hundred bucks on an aftermarket front skid when the oem works well enough for me. I have a long list of other upgrades I would much rather spend money on than a front skid- I was about to buy a nice set of sliders but that will have to wait now.
So.. has anyone upgraded their skids recently and happen to have an OEM theyd be willing to part with? I will pay for shipping and everything of course. Pretty bummed on the timing of this- Front skid is a pretty essential part for me as I wheel pretty hard every weekend.
Appreciate any recommendations on where to find a cheap used OEM, or a decent aftermarket part that won't cost me $400+.

I have a set that's pretty beat up. I was literally going to throw it away as soon as I've had a chance to take my aftermarket stuff off-road, so it's yours for shipping cost if you want it. That said, they aren't small, so shipping will not be cheap. Plus, the OEM ones do not sit even kind of flat which will make boxing it up a challenge.
Best bet if you want to stay local and get a cheap OEM one is a junkyard. They probably won't charge you much for them.
That said, if your playing hard enough to lose one an upgrade is worth your dollars. LFD tends to be cheapest, especially if you just need a front one. ARB makes an "OEM+" skid set that's something like 400$ for the full set which isn't bad.
