Swampy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Does anyone know if there are any flat belly/full body skids for xj's that can be modified for our mjs. Or would it have to be custom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Look underneath. The transfer case and drive shaft are below the "frame" (unibody) rails. A flat belly pan isn't possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If I get back to a laptop I could post pictures of what my XJ has. It's custom, there's nothing off the shelf that's really flat belly, and even mine isn't. Trying to stuff an acceptable exhaust through a flat belly is a challenge to start with, I'm even more hampered having a NP205 in there. However, it is possible to have a flat belly. If you run Wrangler clocking on your tcase with a slightly raised mount, there isn't any issues there. You will likely have to massage the floor a bit, but not a lot. The actual trans crossmember needs to be totally redone to work with this, and you'll need to go to 2" exhaust to maintain decent clearances. From there it's just a matter of fishing outstrips into the frame rails or welding them on from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the mj front skid, I might order a tcase one, my main concern was the transmission protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyyank Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ironman4x4 makes a fullbelly link setup for XJ they did have a SEMA MJ that used a lot of the same parts. https://www.ironman4x4fab.com/product-page/xj-front-rear-4-link-system Other is stinkyfab http://www.stinkyfab.com/trail-proof-crossmember-t-case-skid-jeep-xj-mj/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
