[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 455667, member: 18877"] I ended up tracking down a new tank plate for around $300.. I think... and putting that one, and the aftermarket skid plate that I originally bought. I can lift the jeep up by the gas tank now, but I wasn't what I was going for. I don't think there are any aftermarket skid plates that work. You don't need to get OEM but you do need to get one that looks like it. I got mine from JEGS High Performance, and it went up over $100 not long after I got mine. Quality is great. In looking around for a few mins, it looks like it may still be the cheapest out there, not by much anymore, but still cheaper. I can tell you after doing this last year, you just need to the one that is like the OEM and hope all your bolts come out. The aftermarket plates are to protect the tank, the OEM one holds it where it is supposed to be. It's an expensive pill to swallow, but you have to swallow it. JEGS was $413 when I looked. They took quite awhile for me, but I think that was related to the price I payed. I think it was listed wrong on the website but they honored it and changed the price as they shipped it to me. The whole operation was a pain in the butt, but I'm happy not fearing my tank is going to fall off every time I hit a bump. [/QUOTE]
