after about 3 weeks and 4 failed engine skid plate designs I am ready to admit a M4 custom job is the way to go....

all the prefab ones were either too big, too small, to 91-06 4.0L or just plain stupid...

thoughts?

Engine skid and trailer fab this week?

I remember you saying one that you were good at fixing the belly skid nuts....
I would like to see if the engine skid could be a modular component of the belly skid...

I can drop both off at the same time....

I want to get the submersible LED lights from hanging off the fenders and a 4" round LED in its place..

I keep trashing lights and its pointless to think I wont trash another pair...
I use my fenders as steps, work platform and garage door feelers ::)

I was thinking a light housing just as tough as the fender and a recessed 4" LED...


as far as the YJ...

I have a Kilby flat tummy skid with attachment points (2 threaded bolt holes) for an engine skid they never developed....
I have always likes the simple 9th degree skid:  attaches to the engine block and transmission lower bolts..
they no longer make for the 4.0L and as you know the 258 has a different sump position so the other guys 4.0L skid doesn't work either..



not opposed to a more mad max style either.. attaching from the belly skid and going as for forward as possible without sacrificing ground clearance or suspension flex.  But I think one would need to be more removable for easy access to repair or weight savings when just driving on the road.



i guess we will see wednesday... could go either way.. depends on what your up to...
I have a trail cover for the jeep if it has to sit outside...

im not crazy about bolting a skid to an engine block, that sounds like asking for things to break.  The TJ's i have done, tie into the chassis side of the motor mounts... we can figure out something that removes with 4 or 6 bolts you can slam the truck on with no worries

yeah I always wondered about that...
a good strike and the block could have some issues...


Motor mounts, or frame in that area sound good to me...

still driving around in this stupid JK.. (more thoughts on that jeep later)  so I might drop YJ off and trailer later...

you’re the Dr.

the only reason I haven’t done anything with the exhaust is it’s still the stock downpipe and easily replaced.... but I’m open to ideas..

for some reason those body mounts never want to stay whole.. I can order ones ASAP…
frame tie in probably isn’t a bad idea… body lift is removed so I don’t see there being any big body movements in the future…
there are also (2) 1” holes on the drive side frame where I cheated years ago when the nutsert spun…

Decided to move exhaust.  It was just killing a slick install.  Rather do the extra work and have it stronger and flatter with  better clearance.  Exhaust cut out of way and mounting cross member bent up with tabs welded on.  Will be 6 bolts to pull skid.  1.75 tube skined  with 3/16".  Should be shrong.
