2. covering in from the factory skid to the gas tank; to put this into perspective all the mounting parts for the rear are inboard(spring perches, shocks, track bar, anti-roll bar, 4 control arms, and a nice drive shaft.), that piece of coroplast would look like swiss cheese, and probably be more of a detriment.
The rear will be the hardest to fix up, I don't know the specifics on your year Wrangler and what differences from when my CJ was built but there is no way to make either perfect, just better than it was.

I almost forgot, Synthetics in the gearboxes, we loose about 25% of our power before it even reaches the tires.
