The 1997-2001 skid has sides that are smooth. The entire skid was smoothly bent and formed in one complete unit with no welds. It has three triangle shaped crimps per side. See the pic of a 97-01.
The 1984-1996 skids have welded in sides plates. There is a definite 1/2 inch overlapping seam in the same area that the 97-01 has the triangle crimps.

I don't have a pic handy but my 98 skid does not look like those, it has two drain rails that go from front to back, it looks like the ones you see on ZJ's. Makes cleaning it out a lot easier.

1997-2001 skid. The 3 triangle crimps on the side plate are clearly visible. The curved section is a 1997+ only feature.

What would it take to put a older skid on a 97+ XJ?

on the Left is a zj skid. on the right is a pre 97 tank skid. if you look I have marked a triangle. This is the area needed to be cut / removed. The 97+ ones Ive seen (only saw pics) look like the one above. with the curved plate that matches the stock heat shield on the 97 +... ALSO a pre 97 will bolt on directly (I HAVE ONE ON) the zj will need extra holes drilled / opened up.

I have a few pics on my computer but cannot post them. When I click the link for 'Inseert Image' it asks for a URL "HTTP:\\" .

I don't think you can post pictures directly from your hard-drive. New members need a certain number of posting before they can include pictures in their posts. You have to put your pictures on a file hosting service or server. Flicker, Photobucket, Fototime, or something similar. The host website should have a tab you can click on that will generate a link to your picture on the host site. Then, use the Insert Image icon in the
Post Reply screen. Delete the "HTTP:\\" that shows up and copy/paste your generated link.

So if I managed to get my hands on an older skid, all I would need to do is cut that triangle out on that one side, and it "should" bolt right up?

Is that right? New members you say? I am a member since 2003 and a forum user for more that a year before that. Does that count for something?

Start a photobucket account and it will give you the URL you need to post photos here

It doesn't say much for your quoting abilities
Since there are so many free hosting sites out there it has been long decided that it's not worth the waste of bandwidth for the forum.
Meaning we can't upload pics directly.
Use a free site like photobucket.com to upload your pictured from your computer. It will give you a link you cut in past in that starts

My ability to quote or inability to do so is unimportant. Let us stay on the subject of posting pictures.
Does everyone who post pictures on NAXJA post through a third site?

Note the smiley, implys good natured teasing
As far as I know, yes everyone has thier pics hosted on a different site. Personally I find it easier to keep track of my pics that way anyways :dunno:
Im going to have to go back to the junkyard, it was way in the back so Im sure it will still be there
As long as thier price is reasonable, Im all for it. Looks like the older skid may have a bit more rear and maybe side protection anyways?
