Just picked up the factory skid-plates today for my 1990 2 door, everything bolts right up with hte exception of the Xfer case skid-plate(more like a skid-wing). Anyways the holes for the skid-plate are there on the tranny/xfer case crossmember BUT there are no holes for it on the frame. So I guess I gotta drill into the frame, once I do how do I get the bolts to screw into the frame? Tap &dye?
The skid-plates came from a 4-door, should that matter? The XJ I got it from is an 87 Chief 4-door with a X-fer case marked, 2wd 4wd 4wd-lock Neutral and 4lo, not sure of the number, NV242 maybe? The skid-plate hugged the X-fer case on the Chief better than it does on my NP231, I'm guessing it's normal.
Sorry for the long post & thanks for the help.
