I'll have to look it up. There was a place selling XJ uni-rail skids/reenforcements. They didn't loose much clearance at all. Looked kinda sweet.

Or you could just build a box frame, bolt the drivetrain to that, then bolt the XJ uni-shell to the frame. Instant body lift Smile

Thats kinda what Im thinking. 3/16" plate should be enough. Not to mention its much lighter. My XJ is already heavy enough with the exo cage....feels like Im pulling a trailer everywhere I go now! Big Grin

I got the 1/4 cheap! OK OK It was left over from another project, so it was free! With the price of steel the way it is right now I couldn't pass it up.
