I would swap your 1 and 2 - armor first! Even having a lift, I still bang the bottom (sometimes really hard).Originally Posted by Carn75
Thats the answer I was hoping to hear...some the name brands were getting quite pricey! Sounds good about the sliders....1) Lift/tires/wheels
2) Armor under belly
3) Hit the trails!
My short term bucket list...
Nah I still dont have the belly guard lol. If your careful you can make it work
2007 Jeep Commander: QTII, Leather, Sunroof, remote start, OEM Skid Plates, 2 in Daystar lift, 255.75.17 BFG Mud Terrains on Moabs, 1.25 " Spidertrax wheel spacers, 4x Guard front guard and Side Guards, Optima Red Top, Robbys half inch leveling spacer, Bilstein 5150 Rear Shocks, Pinch weld mod and trimming!
As much as I love my lift and tires - If I could do it all over again, I would have done the skid plates before I had my navigation installed - That purchase alone was worth an assortment of skid plates, lol.
I ordered the OEM transfer case and front suspension skid plates earlier this week. I'm just waiting to go pick them up.

I need a OEM fuel tank skid plate, so if anyone upgrades I will pay shipping for the one you take off!

If I am correct you have to have a gas tank stid in order to install the tcase skid. Sal will know, hopefully he will poke his head in

I know they share a bolt(s) but nothing I have read states you need one to have the other. I could be wrong though.

You need the upgraded fuel tank skid to mount the OEM TC skid. Or you can go get a saguaro TC skid and mounting bracket. So if your ordering the OEM skids then you wouldn't have the correct fuel tank skid so your TC skid won't work so need to order the fuel tank skid as well.

Saguaro makes an adapter so you can instal either their t-case skid or the Mopar skid without having the gas tank skid. However if you are armoring up, why not get the gas tank skid!
[05 WK Khaki 4x4 5.7L QDII ][ 5" SL (OME HD coils and struts) ][ 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 17" Moabs (for the daily grind) ][ 35x12.50R17LT BFG MT KR (for wheeling) ][ Hidden Superwinch in stock bumper][ And soooooo much more... ]
Exactly! Especially since the price of the adapter is just about as much as the upgrade gas tank skid. A few hours of work on a nice warm spring/summer day with some basic tools and you're set
(plus, then you have the experience so you can change your own fuel pump if/when it goes on you lol
