Lots of new toys on the way...

So... after the Nov Trail Ride I took your advice and cancelled my body shop appointment for my insurance claim and just had the insurance company cut me the check. Now, I am impatiently waiting all kinds of new parts for the Heep. I was going to go with Gen-Right based on Gary's recommendation. However, I scored a sweet deal on a boat load of Poison Spyder stuff, which saved me close to $500. I was able to get Poison Spyder Tube Fenders, Rocker Knockers, Full Rear Crusher Corners with flares, and steering box skid for $1,100 shipped. The guys at Poison Spyder hooked me up big time with a few awesome deals and a 20% miltary discount. I couldn't beat it. Still deciding on a front and rear bumper, though. Luckily, I still have $1,300 of that insurance claim burning a hole in my pocket! Next stop... SYE, Tom Woods and a Belly Up Skid. ;D What do you guys think? Paint to match the red or flat black?

Very nice. I'm glad you decided to go this route vice putting regular fenders on there. I would paint it all either semi-gloss black or flat black. Then, when you beat it up you can fix the paint easy.
I think your right inline with your plan for a Belly up skid, SYE, and CV Shaft. Mine used to have a drop skid like you have now and it was easily the biggest cause of me getting hung up on something.
I would seriously consider a transmission/engine skid as well. Undercover Fab makes some really nice stuff and have really good prices too. They sell a combo kit that gives you an engine/transmission skid, belly up skid (depending on how high you want it you'll need a body lift too), and a really nice transmission mount. I don't know for sure the transmission mount is avaliable for the YJ, but I think it is. Anyways, with the combo they sell you can literally buy everything you need to do all of this including the SYE, shaft, skid, body lift (if needed), and engine mount lift (if needed) but at a discounted price for buying it all together.
I am using their ultra high clearance skid (its been heavily modified to clear my suspension) and their lowpro transmission mount. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I checked out their site after I was at your place the other day. I am gonna go with them for belly up kit and engine skid. What was the site that had the Diff covers you have?

If somebody is looking for a D30 heavy duty diff cover I have a RuffStuffSpecialties D30 cover for sale for $60. Not sure which one Bill has, but this is half price from new if you want to save a little money. Here is a link. Mine is currently painted black.

Mr Rock:
For a daily driver I would paint to match, I've heard the red is easy to match.
