Thats the only one he had, I believe I have the other ones still, atleast the gas tank one. I'll double check tomorrow morning.

Looks good! I guess the tow hook thing is hit or miss. I say that because my blaze broke down on a trail and a Jeep Waggy club came along. I got towed out of the trail by my tow hooks by a common rail Cummins Jeep Waggy. And the trail was some pretty tough terrain and elevations.

Also those metal skid plates do come in handy lol. Before I broke down on the trail, I was hitting on every hill I went over. My skid plates "skidded" me over those hills and took minimal damage. Glad I had them or else I might of put a hurting on some components underneath.

those look like holes for a set of 6x9s or 6x8s speakers, and that liner looks like dynamat but idk for sure ive never seen dynamat...

and yea that is definitely for sure for a speaker set or amp, those wires are powerwires and pretty big

Do you know any places i might be able to get the metal skid plates? Plastic ones seem too flimsy, but it is something for now!

I'm going to need to get a voltmeter and test them, and see if they are just dead wires. Any idea about that one on the pillar? Do you think it could just be a ground?

I got all mine from my local junk yard (Pull-A-Part) for a very good price! I would go there and crawl under every blazer, jimmy, bravada, or even s10 they had. Craigslist and eBay are also possibilities. Most people hunt after the set which include the oil filter skid, front differential skid (don't forget the mounting brackets that go with this skid plate), and transfer case skid. I was lucky enough to find a gas tank skid as well, but I would consider the gas tank skid rare.
