LFHoward - thank you for taking the time to take those photos - it is really appreciated.
Your right it looks like the differential is covered up by your plates. What plates do you have? I plan to order the same ones as soon as I get my truck back (will take a look under and post photos if anything seems different) - for now they gave me a 2018 fully loaded cherokee as a loaner, gonna be tough to give it up.
Best,

You’re welcome.
I have them all:
Radiator, engine, transmission, transfer case, and gas tank.
Of those the gas tank skid is the most expensive and the trickiest to install. All the others just bolt on (using nutzerts).
I have been thankful for skid plates multiple times. While it’s not too common that I nail a rock on the trail, there have been several encounters with road debris when I didn’t see it coming. One time a driveshaft, u-joint and all, fell off of a pickup truck in front of me and went right under my Jeep with a resounding “thunk”. Skid plates are cheap insurance compared to what could have happened. This also happened with a rusty muffler. Again, skid plates saved a very expensive repair.
A lift and rock rails help as well, but one mod at a time.
See the threads I posted above for info on part numbers and installation tips for the various skid plates.
