Default New to the Jeep scene, 2001 Laredo. Fuel Tank Guard?

Just picked up a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Had a quick question about the rear fuel tank guard. The guard is old and rusty, does anyone have a link or suggestion on where to buy a replacement/heavy duty replacement? Thanks!

Wait for the upcoming recall, you may get it replaced for free.

Great. I'll hold off on buying a replacement. I'll be picking up a Curtis hitch the next few days. Add some support to the rear end

The recall will add a hitch too.

Your 2001 may not be part of the recall after all. http://www.bankrate.com/financing/ca...7m-car-recall/

How can I figure out if my vehicle is part of the proposed recall. Call Jeep and give them my vin and see what they have to say?

It's kind of a wait and see kind of thing. It couldn't hurt to call the dealer with the VIN and see if they have any answers.

Anyone know where I could find a quality steel gas tank skid plate? They seem very tough to find for the WJ's.

It seems the WJ doesn't have much aftermarket support yet.
