Inner Steering Box Plate For Jeep XJ

I own a 1989 Comanche, and it had already cracked the original Unibody right around the steering box. Around 10-12 years ago a really good fabricator buddy of mine helped me plate that area, and we plated it with an assortment of 1/8" & 3/16" plate cut to fit. It did pretty well for all those years, but now I am doing a 1 Ton axle swap on it, and saw this came out and it was a no brainer to get it. Let me tell you one thing. I wish this would’ve came out 10 years ago, because this would’ve taken care of all the guess work and measurements we had to do then, not only that but this is pure beef when it comes to strengthening that part of the unbody. My MJ was definitely used, and sometimes pushed beyond it's limits, but I always ran 33" tires, short arms, small 4.5" lift, and that was enough to crack the OG unibody. So my advice to anyone building an XK with tires 33" or bigger that plans to actually take it on trails is to do this ASAP, that way your unibody is plated before it cracks.

Great beefy brace for your frame and save from cracking the frame for future reference, gives your steering some wiggle room and fits perfect for Durango steering box with no issues!
