After damaging my TJ's oil pan in Delta, I figured it was time to actually install skidplates. 
Yes, it would have been a great idea to do that BEFORE the damage, thanks for pointing that out.
So anyway, after installing a brand-new pan, here are the parts: Teraflex bolt-on oil pan skidplate, and since I have a BellyUp skidplate that means I can use the trans skid also. (the oil pan skid is a stand-alone thing, but you are required to have both that and a BellyUp to use the tranny skid)
Pretty simple to install, only minor headaches getting the crud out of the holes on the engine block so I could bolt on the oil pan skid. The instructions say most TJ's will use a 3/8" bolt on both sides, but some models have a 12mm hole on the driver's side. Mine used the 12mm. Put those two bolts in loosely, take out the bottom two bolts from the bellhousing. and pivot the skid up into place. Replace the bolts with the new, longer ones they provide in the kit. Tighten it all down, and the oil pan part is done!
The tranny skid just goes between new oil pan skid, and the BellyUp skid, and bolts on very simply. It uses a little rubber bushing at the front to account for the drivetrain moving around in relation to the Tcase skid. You can choose to orient the bolts facing up or down, I chose down for ease of removal when it's oil change time. It does risk damaging them on rocks, but whatever.
Overall, it was an easy bolt-on install that didn't take very long, and will provide a LOT of peace-of-mind when I hear banging/scraping sounds from underneath.
