Went to the junkyard today and snagged a zj skid plate on the super cheap.

 

UP YOURS!



Wish you lived closer, would like to see the mod as it happens so I can have a better idea of how to do mine, if I ever find one (insert smiley flipping the middle finger here)

LOL

 

This should give you an idea on the work needed which really isn't much.https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ho...d-97-xj-28676/

 

Well finally got some spare time today to remove my rear sway bar and make sure my rear bump stop plates would fit correctly. Good thing i tried it because they were made for a larger axle tube. Sent diybeadlock an email wondering if they got my order mixed up or something. Also had a injury occur will jacking the keep up. The handle slipped and nailed my finger. Its swollen and purple at the moment

 

ouch! Hope it's ok now

 

Still purple but swelling went down. Long as i can still wrench and pull parts sat after the meeting im good lol.

 

Well been exchanging emails with diybeadlock all day. Took a while to make them understand that they spaced the holes too wide. Ended up havign to send a pic of them with a tape measure across. So we shall see in the morning what they come up with.

 

Want me to bring one of my old stock bolts to the meeting for measuring?

 

Nope hes remade me some more plates with my specs.Thanks though.

 

Nice build, but That seems to be the most inconvenient place to mount a fire extinguisher. Better to have one still, but I'd try and find a place within reach from one of the doors at least.

Not hating, just my $0.02. I love silver cherokees, and this one is going to turn out great.

 

Im not exactly a small guy. I barelly fit in the xj as it is much less place an extinguisher in my way lol.

 

SUBSCRIBED!!

 

Right where mine is. Subd.

 

Removed all my flares and the back lower quarter panel plastic. Getting ready to start cutting here next day or so.


Im curious how i should go about getting that plate off. Its rivited on

 

Look what just got dropped off
