Jim's XJ is alot closer to being rock-proof (sorry for the jinx ;D) with the addition of newly fabbed Rock Plates (for rocker bars), Transfer case skid plate and Rusty's Gas Tank Skid. Fabbing and install by C.O.R.E.4WD. Rock Plates mounting tabs on Rocky Roads rocker bars-  Getting ready to install Rock Plate-  Installed (fasteners are countersunk into Rock Plates) T-case skid also shown, will tuck up higher in front with high clearance performance catalytic converter-   Rusty's skid installed as well-  Hey, Jim-rear diff is looking a little vulnerable! heh-heh ;D Guess we need to hook that up with a slider as well! Pics added June 5,2006- Jim's happy about losing 8.25 (only cuz c-clip is stuck! lol)  Positioning d44 bling bling paint dude!-  Cleaning brake junction block, had to make one line-  Filling diff-   Front high pinion- LCA's off    Shafts in-  |

Michele, takes about a week start to finish. Gotta juggle my "real" job. Can do them without jeep after template is done. Template takes about an hour. $150 installed. You will have no fear rolling over rocks tire to tire! You've seen (heard?) mine in action...

Hot Tip! Dave modified/customized my Skid Row generic control arm skids. His plasma cutter sliced through them like butter, nice work Dave.
