Best Skid Plates???	Permalink

Ok, I'm starting the Christmas wish list early. I would like some input from those with some more experience. I am looking for a transfer case and fuel tank skid plates Skid row looks like a good tank skid. Transfer case has a lot of options. If I'm buying one, I'd like to get the best coverage with the least clearance issues. So what do you think? __________________ '93 XJ, Red 2dr. 2.5L, Manual 3"BDS, 31"BFG ATs, D30 & C8.25 4:10 gears NoSlip in both My Pics and Specs

I'm sure if money is no object, there is a lot to choose from. Sometimes if you're lucky you can find stock mopar skids in the junkyards. I am very happy with my mopar front & gastank skids. I have heard of people bending them on large rocks, but have never seen it in person. I have hit mine hard & have no dents. __________________ '89 XJ Pioneer - 33s, skids. lift, snorkle, HO engine, etc

Money is always an object. Heck what isn't spent one place can alway be oput someplace else. I'm glad to hear a good report on the stock tank skid. I've thought about that option, but heard they weren't very sturdy. I'm not Mohab hard on my rig, so I'll start scouting one out.
T-case skid seems to be the point of a lot of abuse, so that may be where I spend the mony saved on the tank.
Thanks for the input.

I'd go with Dirk's @ DPG. http://www.dpgoffroad.com/rock_attack.htm Jason @ Jeepinoutfitters.com carries it as well. I "think" his prices might even be better... __________________ '93 XJ Cherokee Sport - build thread '89 XJ Cherokee Laredo - build thread '88 MJ Comanche Pioneer SWB - build thread '87 MJ Comanche LWB '94 YJ Wrangler - build thread
