Default Parts ZJ I just drug home, do I want this front diff skid plate?

I accidently bought a parts ZJ yesterday (my wife doesn't believe me but I was buying an engine and three cars down I spotted the ARB front bumper/guard combo, I mean... what was I supposed to do?). I didn't see this front diff skid plate until I loaded the jeep. My ZJ is the same year, same drivetrain, same T-case, everything. So I assume this would fit, it looks like you need to weld some tabs on the axle tube? Is this worth it?

I'm stealing the bumper, the better condition than mine power leather seats and the headlight switch. Is there anything else I should grab off it?

P.S. Forgot to mention why it's a parts jeep, the engine is blown. Still figured it was worth the $200 just for the bumper and seats and a (3rd for me) set of wheels.

The winch bumper looks good besides the missing turn signal lights,That skip plate hangs down kinda low and probably do more harm killing ground clearance then protection the diff.Does it have any rare options like the disc changer in the back ?

Good point about ground clearance. I didn't see one back there but i'll check again. It does have a sunroof, that's the only option it has that I don't have on my Jeep.

I'd rather run a thick steel fabed diff cover and not keep any ground clearance and protection.
