Anyone have the part # and price of the Mopar Engine skid?

When I get the part number, do I order it by part number through the parts department at my local jeep dealership, or how do I order it? Will I have to drill any holes, or does it just mount to the bolts that are holding the Transfer case and front diff skid-plates?

I think what you are reffering to as the 'front diff skid plate' IS the engine skid (it's the furthest forward skid you can get.. also referred to as the front suspension skid). I think what you are wanting is the transmission skid which can be found here:

If you are referring to the tranny skid, not the front skid, I believe the part number is 52128925AC.

You're probably better off ordering it from a local dealer, to save on shipping. I paid about $30 for mine out the door (including tax).

Here's a pic of my install:

Notice how the front gets sandwiched between the front skid and the frame (using only one bolt), and the back attaches directly to the crossmember. You'll need to get a couple of nutzerts from the dealer, if you want to use them, or just drill all the way through the crossmember like I did.

These pics sort of show where to drill the new hole in the rear of the skid:

Just ordered it. Yes, I was looking for the engine/transmission skid plate. I gave my local jeep dealership that part number, and it was only $30.73. Seemed less expensive than a new oil-pan/transmission housing + any towing fees that may be required.

The only things I have left to do before camp jeep, are get a D-ring hitch, a tow-strap, re-shape my front fog-light covers, and wire my light bar.

Interestingly enough, that's a MUCH LESS beefy skid than my stock, 2003 "Suspension" skid (which is the front, engine skid NOT the tranny skid).

(And I bent mine and am looking for a replacement).
