You can get a factory Up-Country one from the dealer, but the only after market one I could find is this one. http://www.csloffroad.com/jeepwjrear...otofab4x4.aspx

thanks but i'm not looking for a bumper/skid. i'm just surprised they don't have any, but they do for the ZJ. i guess i'll have to go buy a factory one.

I've got to admit I'm a ZJ guy, all the WJ guys I know opt to delete the factory spare storage area and tuck the tank up in the storage spot. It would help out immensely when offroading gaining you way more clearance.

is this the skid for the fuel tank or just the tank itself?

Definitely looks like a skid to me. I remember seeing WJ's that didn't look like that without skids in the JY's.

X2. I'd say that's the skid plate. Here's a link for the factory skids. >http://www.wjjeeps.com/upcountry.htm#FRSKID

that's odd, cause i took that picture of mine. but i don't have the Upcountry and previous owners didn't offroad as far is a know. but i guess that'll save me $200 for a new one
