I am looking into getting a gas tank skid plate for my 99. Would a skid plate work from a 95? I would have to check tank size right???

Thanks guys

 

I understand you need a 97+ as they went to plastic tank that year. I got a skid from the JY for my '99 for $80.

 

it wont find...i had picked one up for my 2000 xj so i ended up donating it to my friends jeep

 

You can get a ZJ skid though, and just drill new holes, and it will fit just fine. My local jy's have tons of ZJ's with skids in them, but no 97+ XJ's with skids. I plan on doing this myself soon.

 

it wont fit?

 

Went to the Junkyard today. Did some work on a skid plate from a 96 ZJ ORVIS edition and finally got it removed. Not in bad condition a little rusty but not bad. 10 BUCKS! Talk about a steal

Should this fit my 99 XJ?????

 

if you have a hitch, u can use that as a template to drill ur holes

 

I do, and will do that! Thanks for the help.

 

Skid plates off older xjs will fit 97+ no problem, I have one on my rig right now, just needed to trim a little off the front of it. All holes lined up no problem.

 

well its off an older ZJ grand cherokee. still work?

 

Yea, will still work. I think theres a write up some were that shows u how to make it fit, I think u still gotta trim but I cant really remember, but I do kno u have to redrill some holes

 

I found this thread on it, https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ho...d-97-xj-28676/

 

Awesome. Thanks for that. Will definitely help

 

good job!!! I am also looking for that plate ...
