as thick as the rocks you plan to hit.
i wouldnt go less than 3mm aluminium personally. but if you use stainless steel it could be thinner i guess

And the nice thing is it was free.

i plan to make mine out of ss diamond plate All im going to do is have it cute to the shape i want it, drill holes and use U bolts to bolte it to the frame. I want the rubber im goign to run door seal strips down the aread that touches the frame to keep it from scraching.
for my a arms its a different story, thow need to have a front and bottom because fiels of weeds like to rub the paint off those lower a arms. Not sure what i'll do about those becuase i feel like welding it will cause the weld to rust.
then fro the swingarm skid plate IDK what im goign to do. I dont know if i really think it needs anything other than the stock one.
