The Mopar tranny skid is what I had and failed on a mountain leaving me stranded for hours in a blizzard and hail storm. They're alot cheaper than the good ones though.

Those are what I am replacing my Mopar with until Marty completes his.

just picked it up got a deal any way what do i have to do to it to make it fit my 02

Pretty sure you have to drill holes where none exist now and mount it with a bolt and nut.

o thats not a big deal ill take care of that when i take to to dino for the lift he will probably just use nut serts and tack them in place

the holes line up here and there. just find whatever hole you want, then drill holes where there are none. not really a big deal. I freaked out when i first started drilling holes. but now, ive had this jeep apart in so many different places and ways, drilling holes here and there are the least of my worries. :roll:

the mopar plates are nice, theyre better than nothing at all... but a better Tcase skid would be nice. that sumbiscuit seems flimzy. The trans skid i got was doubled up, seemed the best skid of them all. hmm. i dunno. at least these are light. adds a bit of insurance i guess. i didnt go wheelin anywhere until i had full skids under there. not worth it, the pates are relatively cheap. all i need now are some supersliders. :lol:

cant wait for those.

Ouch 319 bucks for just the fuel tank skid.... time for a 3rd job?

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Tue Jun 02, 2009 11:20 pm

300 bucks is only about 100 bucks more than the mopar tank skid, and depending on what year KJ ya got the tank skid can be hard to find

i personally like the Kilby gas skid which someone has for sale in the sale section by the way

tumanator · **Posted:** Tue Jun 02, 2009 11:28 pm

$200 for the Mopar? Proly from the stealership. For the price of the good skid plate you could almost get a full set shipped from here. Yes I know their not as good but anything's better than nothing.
