Default Cannot find a OEM fuel tank skid plate

Ive been looking for a replacment skid plate for my Cherokee and searched online and ebay and cannot find a OEM skid plate like mine and all searches come up for CJs factory skid plates. Mine has too much rust to repair. And im just looking for a stock one and not a rock crawler one.

The reason you can't find one is most all are just like yours. Buy an aftermarket and be done with it at least that way you will have a lot better than stock.

i was gonna take off the tc skid but some *** welded it. I m guessing the bolts broke off the weld nuts on inside the frame. So he welded it back on the frame.

One off of a grand Cherokee fits with a new hole or two drilled through it. I have one on my xj and there are plenty of grands at junkyards with OEM skids. Finding one from an upcountry xj is kind of hard
