Help finding replacement panel

[jneri]

Hi all!

I'm doing a frame up restoration of my '99 TJ and am stumped. I am replacing the rear cross member under the tailgate (already purchased keyparts part from JEGS) but cannot seem to find the flat panel that is welded to it just under/in front of it. I have attached a picture. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You may want to reach out to Daveys Jeeps - They are a salvage yard and if the part is not available it may be that they can cut one off of one of their tubs.

Thanks Andy! I'm hoping to find new as I am completely restoring my jeep.

Just keep in mind the rest of your jeep isn’t new- And often getting a factory take off part is higher quality than the aftermarket replacement.

It's always difficult to tell what panels are what but I think it's Mopar 55175790 and several places sell them. The trick is the panel changed over the years so even though it might fit it will probably be a different shape.
