From where??? I think an 03-07 would also fit....

And if you can't by new, consider a used one...

I don't think they make anything for discontinued jeeps anymore, or at least after about a year they stop making them. They don't sell the jeep, I doubt they will spend money to make parts for it.

The skid for the '05+ models can be made to fit, it's just that the mounting holes don't line up perfectly. You can overcome this by either drilling new holes in the skid to match the mounting locations you have, or just drill thru the crossmembers and run bolts all the way thru (but don't drill thru a pan :eek: ).

Yes, I was taking a look at the area that needs protected, looks to be too much for me....I tried Ebay but didn't find anything.. I'll keep looking and maybe visit a junkyard and see if they have anything.

I think I was told the same thing when I was looking for a transmission skidplate for my 04 Libby. I wound up buying one from another year and I'll have to drill out a single mounting hole to make it fit. You'll likely have to do the same for the transfer case.

I have an 02 and bought skids for an 05+ and just drilled new holes in the skids. There is a better option, though more expensive -- Skid Row
