Product Information
1997-2006 Jeep TJ Wrangler including Rubicon and Unlimited
Our new gas tank skid plate is a cover-up style skid plate that bolts over the factory skid plate. This skid plate simply bolts on right over the original so you don't have to drain your gas tank and remove it. That makes the installation a snap! Normal installation time is less than an hour. They are made from 3/16" thick steel on the bottom and sides, and come powder coated in semi-gloss black. We have one installed on our project TJ Rubicon with a D44 rear axle and it works great!
Please note that 1997-1998 TJ's will require two holes to be drilled while 2004and newer models require drilling one hole. Unlimited models require drilling of two holes.
1984-2001 Jeep XJ Cherokees
These skids are made from 3/16" thick steel on the bottom and sides, are powder coated, and are completely bolt-on. They are designed to work with hitches as you can see in the picture above left. If you don't already have a hitch you will need to provide the nut plates that fit inside the chassis. You can get them from your friendly Jeep dealer. On 1997-2001 models you'll only need the driver's side nut plate. We just got a set from our local dealer.
Please note: We've recently learned that our gas tank skid plate is not compatible with the Rusty's Offroad Hitch due to its width.
Please note that there is a difference between the 1984-1996 model and the 1997-2001 model.
The 1984-1996 models have a steel gas tank, while the 1997-2001 models have a plastic gas tank that hangs closer to the ground.
