Title: gas tank skid
Post by: Zombie on February 10, 2010, 10:04:33 PM

just wondered what years of xj's came out with the gas tank skid plates and if they would work on my 97 xj?
I have seen a few older ones but was not sure what other years had them.

if anyone has one, pm me as I want one :)

thanks
steve

anyone have any insight as to what years had them/what years would fit my 97 xj.
I have heard that some grand cherokee skids will fit, I just don't know what years to look for them.

97-01 XJ skids will fit your Cherokee.

I highly recommend the TOMKEM skid plat. they are reasonable in price and i have abused mine for over a year now and have no issues.
The stock plat is not that heavy and dose not protect the sides.

TOMKEN? Probably a lot cheaper to get one fabbed up at a local shop than buying any named brand stuff. I'm sure there are more than a few guys on this site with the skills and tools to do the job.
