Flat Belly Skid Plate for Jeep YJ

Motobilt's Flat Belly Skid Plate for Jeep YJ provides a smooth, durable skid plate solution for your YJ, perfect for tackling tough off-road obstacles.

Completely flat and no trans mount, so one would have to be fabbed. The Genright universal trans mount kit comes to mind.

Love seeing folks supporting and building new parts for our YJ’s.

Looks good! On my stock YJ with a 2.5L they put the catalytic conv. above the skid and it's a tight fit. That may need adjusting too.
 
Really cool! I like seeing new parts being built for older Jeeps as well. So much of the focus (and market) was lost with the JKs and JLs.

Is tucking a YJ the same amount of work as a TJ?

I would cut it out, Flowmaster makes some really short high flow cats that can used in more places other than under the skid. You could run two to combat the noise (more noticeable exhaust note) that a single high flow might cause.
