On a more serious note though, sorry to hear that. People do some crazy stuff when they need something.

I cant imagine it was too easy to steal them. I had a hell of a time getting some off a j/y xj.

Oh, see...that is information you didn't include in the original post.

I don't see how someone could steal a gas tank skid that easy....unless they cut it off. Those bolts are ridiculously hard to get out, especially for any XJ that has seen salty roads. It took me 2 hours to pull one from a jy here in Texas!!!

my guess is it went into the shop early in its life and one of the guys took them off then never put them back on. Happened to a friend of mine with a full set of armor skids on his Nissan guy was just lazy and left them laying on the side of the shop
