skid plate replacement

[TwistedCU]

There's a factory skid plate on the driver's side next to the gas tank, it protects the fuel filter or pump (which one is it?). Mine's rusted out pretty bad and I need to replace it. Looks pretty easy to do, but anybody know a good place to find one (besides the stealership)?

junkyard, or your neighbor's jeep... :lol:

That thing "protects" your fuel filter. But dude, if you're having issues of getting rocks way up there, then you need to look into a full under-carriage skid, anyways.

Try to fab something up or get a mom & pop shop to do it. Most machine shops have a welder, a torch, and scrap metal to do it right. Get the dimensions and take it to them with a $20 and a dozen donuts... you'll be set by the end of the day.

Is the current skid welded to the frame? I'd just have somebody weld up a few pieces of steel, one flat skid and two gussets, and have it welded to the frame. You can probably do all the grinding prep work yourself.
