rustys skidplates on a kj?

[cplchris]

today at work someone put a note on my kj saying that he had some rustys skidplates for sale that will work on an 02-04 kj, ive got 2 questions though, i went on rustys website and cant find any kj skids so does anyone here know if they ever made them and my second question would be is there any difference between 02-04 skids and the 05-07 skids or are they the same (he says he has engine and transfer case skids)
thanks,
chris

I have the rusty's tank skid on my 03 , basic boxing tank skid, heavy as friggin lead and came with an initially nice looking paint job but one IL winter and the paint rotted off 40% of the tank

by the time i bought my tank skid I seem to remember that they had just discontinued making the trans skid ?

beyond that much.. i dont recall any other details about their trans/engine skids.. I ordered the rustys tank skid and a replacement mopar ****** skid from rustys at the same time so they must have already been out of the trans skid

I have the Rusty's transmission skid - I love it! It's uber-beefy, and I've come down ******* it a number of times, and it's never buckled or dented. Not only does it cover the transmission pan, but it also covers the front driveshaft too.

If the ones you are being offered are anything like the one I have on my KJ, I'd buy them in a heartbeat!

coyote, can you post a pic of what you have. I have a rustys skid that I bought from a LOSTKJ member an i cant seem to figure it out.

 

[yellocoyote]

I'll see if I can find something.

EDIT: I'll try to get a picture sometime tomorrow - I don't have anything in my photo archives that shows it well enough.

Thanks

ok so now that i know that 100 bucks for the skids is a decent deal i want to make sure theyll work on my kj, does anyone know if there is any difference in skids for an 02-04 vs an 05-07?

Might have to redrill a hole or two in the skid, but overall they will Get them!

Get them.

If you decide you don't want the ****** skid, I will drive down there and buy it off you and throw my OEM one away.

well i finally got the skids....as i didnt have the time to get them when he left the note on the jeep back in august i ended not getting them but i emailed him the other day and without batting an eye the guy told me 50 bucks for the 2 skids (transmission and tcase), i just need to get a few pics of how the rustys transfer case skid was designed to bolt up so if anyone here has an 02-04 with the rustys tcase skid please post a pic of it installed showing where all the bolts go

 

[Akedos]

What a steal man! *whew* $50 for 2 plates... I'm a little jealous.

 

[cplchris]
