Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the Heaviest Duty Gas/Fuel Tank Skid Plate for the Jeep Cherokee XJ 1984 - 2001.

Hardcore rock crawlers and light duty fire road explorers alike need to add the Rock Hard 4x4 skid plate system to their build list. Protect your extremely vulnerable gas/fuel tank from trail debris and obstacles with our 3/16" thick plate steel skid plate.

Our 3/16" thick skid plate is made from a solid sheet of steel then bent, formed, and hand welded into it's highly protective shape.

Unique Design
Proven by the most hardcore Jeep drivers on trails like the Rubicon, Moab, Rausch Creek and more, our skid plate system's design is the key to it's popularity.

Our system is cut and formed from a single sheet making it smooth and seamless. This gives you a true skid plate without rock catching and high centering flaws found in low-budget alternatives. We do more than just protect your gas / fuel tank from straight on impact though - we have flared the sides of our skid plate upwards for side impact protection that also helps glide you off the obstacle rather than high center.

Strength
Our skid plate system is the industry standard because of the confidence it instills in each and every customer. Each skid is laser cut from 3/16" thick steel coated in our weather and debris resistant powder coat finish. Strength is proven on virtually all Jeep enthusiast forums with glowing reviews.

XJ Extended Range Tank & Skid plate

I received this about 6 months ago. My 97 Cherokee has a 6.5 " long arm lift. It was not a easy replacement. I had to do a lot of modifications to the rear of the Jeep to make it fit because of the long arm add. We got it done and it works fine now. The tank and plate is built very well and am very happy with the product. Yes I would buy one again. It's nice to be able to go much further on a tank of gas.
