Engine/Tranny Skid Plate Install
Skid Row Part #XJ-ESP-14

There's already a write up on this install here. Even though that is on a TJ, there were no differences in the process. The only thing I have to add is that there are two part numbers for this plate on an XJ. One for a 10" cross-member the other for a 14" cross-member. You can see where it is measured from here:

For my application it was the 14" cross-member…[ForestGump]and that's all I have to say about that.[/ForestGump]

Tell him to post up and I'll answer his question. rofl

The skid hangs no lower than the crossmember and fits pretty tight to the oil and tranny pans. I installed a Fumoto valve to ease changing the oil...but I have to drop the skid to do tranny service.
