Default Gas tank skid plate

Everyone ever made one of these? I can't see spending 200+ for one of these. So if anyone has ever made one maybe a writeup or maybe dimensions on theirs or what not. It would very appreciated.
Thanks

Alright sounds good!

And I've been trying search to look things up. I use my iPod. I got the cherokeeforum app I don't think the search is the same. And my computer is really slow so I always end up getting frustraighted so now I use my iPod for this forum all the time.

ZJ skids will work.Have to do a little cutting on the back side.I found this 1 on Craigs list for 25.00 the frt. skid is off and XJ for 25.00 on CL.If you can find a ZJ with the Orvis off road package in a bone yard the cane with the skids.
