Steve Jeep

A buddy has a 2002 Jeep with a few mods, hit big rock, bent the
tranny/xfer skid plate enough to move the tranny/xfer case.

Local dealer found it during routine maintenance and made him pay to get
a new skid plate. But dealer was not a pain about it -- he needs the
local off road business! Dealer is in Oak Ridge, TN.

Lessons:
1) skid plate worked like a champ!
2) damage due to off-roading may be detected as such and be on your nickel
3) expect to have to fix thing back to stock if damage occurs. If you
don't want to pay dealer prices, check the jeep out before going to the
dealer and fix it up first.

I wouldn't worry too much. As the other poster noted, the dealer has to
show a change or bad behavior caused the problem. My buddy remembered
the rock and the thud -- he did not try to claim it should be a warranty
repair.

At some point we were all newbies, though many have been around longer
than the Jeep....
