A necessary addition with a few issues

Haven't scuffed the RH arm plates yet, but having bumped lots of other parts and pieces it's just a matter of time. The front plates use shims to align, but they aren't that hard to line up. I have a continuing rattle from the front passenger plate, I can't torque it any more than I have so we're just living with it. I may get a wedge made from sheetmetal and stuff it in the front. The factory bolts for the rear shocks are too short to accommodate the thickness of the plates, so I picked some longer Grade 8 bolts up from ACE Hardware. Turns out the Rubicon Fox shocks' roosters interfere with the plates, so I didn't put them on. On my YJ I've ripped the same rear shock mount off twice, so I was worried. On the JTR, it seems less likely to happen, so I'm over worrying about it. I'd still buy them, knowing this, for sure.

If you think the factory plate is wimpy, this will solve your problem

HOLY CARP, BATMAN! The dumb low mounting point of the factory steering stabilizer is the only thing between your CAD and destruction by a mean rock. If you fix the stabilizer location, you're screwed for protection - the factory skidplate isn't. It's a thin envelope of sheetmetal over your freaking front axle's nards! One kick and the whole thing is toast! Super easy 10 minute install, uses the factory fasteners and fits up well enough to do it blindfolded. For fixing a potential walk home from here problem, it's a bargain. No instructions, but really, are they needed? This corrects a problem that FCA chose to half-ass a solution for. What did they get, .06 MPG improvement from the EPA? Picture: Look how thin and wimpy the factory skidplate is!
