Skid Plates other than Gas Tank
I'm new to the FSJ build up. I'm transitioning from a 2008 Jeep Commander to a 1988 Grand Wagoneer. There are several skid plates available to provide protection for the Commander but all I have seen for the Wagoneer is the one for the Gas Tank.
Are there other skids out there or will I have to fabricate my own?
Thanks!

Wagoneer drivers are so skilled, skidplates are uneeded 
Sorry I can't help much - I have not really seen any. What do you want a skid plate for? I've seen diff covers, rock sliders, etc... What do you want a skid plate for? |

One other item is that most of the FSJ stuff is tucked up above the frame rails.

I'm thinking of transfer case, transmission pan and maybe engine/oil pan. Please excuse me if I'm being ignorant in this case, I haven't really crawled underneath too much to really consider the logistics of this proposed skid plates. I'm just thinking of what I've seen for other jeeps.

If you plan to rockcrawl then a tcase is mandatory. The trans is pretty far out of the way and i havent had anything come near it yet. My tcase skid regularly takes a beating though. Your stock gas tank skid wont last long either.
