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!

sweet, are those the ones from jparts? You will have to let me know if they fit your 03. I was just looking at the skid row site.

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 :lol:

I got the tranny skid for the 05-07 which required drilling some holes. 4 in my case, but it would only take 3 for you since you would use one bolt from the engine skid.

May be the way I have to go. Not having any luck finding a 03 tranny skid so far.

It looks like you drive as good as I do!! :lol:

That's why I need the whole set.

LOL yeah that was after my first Jeep Jam run. I was on trails that I was not ready for....

Hood297 · **Posted:** Fri Jan 04, 2008 7:26 pm

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.

so thats what color they actually are....... mine are this odd shade of brown and orange. I cant really seem to figure out why.

JeepBeat · **Posted:** Sun Jan 06, 2008 5:33 pm

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?

AbsoluteRenegade · **Posted:** Sun Jan 06, 2008 5:58 pm

I got mine from the dealership for my 05, came from ohio (im in upstate ny) was there the next day. Cost was 50 bucks, cheaper then jparts i think.

Jeep4me99 · **Posted:** Mon Jan 07, 2008 5:39 pm

is there a difference between the front suspension and engine skid....i can't seem to find anywhere what exactly the front suspension skid attaches to or really protects (besides the suspension..dur).

It's a start!
