I was fixing my wifes computer when I heard her shut the front door, she yells through the house, "You got a package!".
I opened it up and there it was, piece on of my skids!
Can't wait to get the time to install it!

501 that one should fit just right. I JUST got done installing the 05-07 on my 03. Kind of a PITA, but they were a christmas present and too much trouble to return. The only difference between the 02-04 and 05-07 that actually matters is that in the picture the bottom right corner of the skid folds up at an angle. I have no idea why they changed this for 05+ but they did. and also the 05-07 has another hole to access the front diff. Did you get the transmission skid? |

Still looking for the tranny skid, do you have an extra? Hopefully next week I'll have the transfer skid, it's supose to be on it's way. I can't wait to get some trail rash on them

May be the way I have to go. Not having any luck finding a 03 tranny skid so far. itsajeepthing wrote: She'll look like this in no-time!

Its really not that hard, just have a good drill, and i recomend a new drill bit and tap. I got a package that had both to drill and tap for a 1/2" bolt. worked great and only like 8 bucks. + 4 1/2" bolts and lock washers. |

A bit off topic, but being a rather KJ Newbie, what skids were standard on '02 Limited's, if any?? I took a peek under and looks like there is atleast one under the front end. Can anyone enlighten me? |
