Anyone know what a stock non-Rubicon TJ skid plate weighs? Can't find the info anywhere. My google-foo must be weak or something.
Yes. Close enough is good enough. Yes, I'm at it again Chris. lolA 97-02 skid plate I assume?

We all have our little quirks. Mine's a fixation on weight. Beats constantly fretting over global warming or something.Oh yeah, you're going to have to keep track of every pound you add to that thing!

An LS conversion?Haha, this is true! But just imagine the stress relief you'd find if you never had to worry about the weight again... or maybe you actually enjoy it?
Thanks! Going UCF aluminum saves about a pound and a half then. Sheesh. About the same as taking a healthy dump.I want to say its 32 lbs...
Edit: Found a thread on JF that states 41.5 lbs
I didn't weight mine, but I replaced my stock steel skid with UCF's aluminum skid, and the weight difference is definitely more than a pound and a half.Thanks! Going UCF aluminum saves about a pound and a half then. Sheesh. About the same as taking a healthy dump.
That's an idea , but I'm trying not to go the agricultural modification route. The guys at work in the sheet metal shop offered to burn something out on the laser and bend it up on the CNC press brake but I've resisted so far. Knowing them, I'd end up with all sorts of custom bits in exotic materials if I went down that rabbit hole. They, uh, like to build custom off road rigs. Or should I say over build.Maybe you could grind off all the ridges. Kill two birds with one stone - remove weight, and make it flatter at the same time. Just be full of holes, though.
I know this is and old thread, but did you end up going with the UCF skid? How do you like it so far? I was just looking at picking one up.Thanks! Going UCF aluminum saves about a pound and a half then. Sheesh. About the same as taking a healthy dump.
