Xdt Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello, Does anyone know where to purchase the front under panel for a MJ?. I do not do any serious off-roading however just want to protect the alternator and keep debis from entering engine bay. Thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 What under panel? There was a factory skid plate that "protected" the steering components (it's pretty thin) and that could also keep some stuff from splashing up into the engine bay, but I think that's about it. You might luck out and spot one under the front of an XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdt Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ok the factory skid plate is what I am looking. I will look for an XJ in salvage yards. Just thought there was a manufacture that made a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I guess he means the engine splash shield. The 97 and up XJ OEM units work great for our trucks and are plug and play. All the push pin fastener holes line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the push pin fastener holes line up. P/N is 55174736. Still available somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hornbrod Thanks for the info, I will start a google search for an engine splash shield for XJs Welcome. It does a decent job keeping the alt and the engine dry and semi-mung free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Mm. I actually know very little about the '97+ XJ's. It's probably obvious sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Mm. I actually know very little about the '97+ XJ's. It's probably obvious sometimes. Almost all of them were ripped off at some point and never put back on. Mostly because the early model ones at least get soggy and torn up and are a real PITA to deal with if you have to do anything on the bottom of the engine. Apparently the 97+ ones are made out of a different material, but I don't know if I've ever seen one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-man930 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 How much are the OEM ones going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdt Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I found the OEM as described above for a Cherokee for $65 on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
