Overview
The Tomken Machine Transfer Case Skid Plate (Black), part number TOMTMS-1332-PA (TMS-1332-PA), is a black powder coated transfer case skid for the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) with the NP231 transfer case.
Tomken’s product copy describes the plate for a 1984 to 1996 XJ Cherokee with an NP231 transfer case, while the manufacturer’s stored fitment list shows the 1984–1986 Cherokee (XJ). Because those two statements differ, confirm the year range with Tomken before ordering. Tomken Machine also gives a measurement for checking fit: 14″ between the back of the lower control arm mount and the front edge of the cross member. Tomken says its skid plates protect gas tanks, transfer cases, U-bolts, transmissions or the entire undercarriage from off-road damage. Tomken Machine also makes skid plates for gas tanks, U-bolts and transmissions, so this transfer case plate can be part of a larger set.
