There's not a lot of info on the forums about this, and not a lot of options, so I thought I'd start a thread for those looking for answers. So far, here's what I have found and installed successfully:
Rear differential -Got a Rancho one from Quadratec. Installed very easily.
Lower control arms - Got a set of Rock Hard plates from Quadratec. The rears fit very well. I haven't been able to get the nuts off of the fronts yet, so I haven't installed them but they look like they'll fit.
Oil pan and tranny - Mountain Off Road - their web site and instructions say that they only fit 3.6 and/or 4-door. I talked to one of the owners (I think) and he was 99% sure it would fit. It did. Not a hard install.
Sliders - Got the RockHard ones that tilt up. Very sturdy. Easy install.

Here's what I'm still missing:
Front differential - The Rancho one doesn't fit Rubicon. I tried. Metal Cloak makes one (they say) but you have to replace the cover and the track bar, and comes raw. Still looking for something like the Rancho that I installed on the rear. Rancho says June...maybe.

Asfir do an aluminium engine pan/ transmission skid. I had it originally on my 19 and transferred it to my 21. No issues.

I know we're quite a bit later from your original thread - but I'm hoping this Rough Country will fit the front diff on my '21.

Last year I had this front differential skid plate for a short time before it got all bent up. It was definitely used and abused.
