Is anyone making a them yet?

I destroyed mine on sunday. I now have a big dent in the skid plate. Its caved in pretty good. I would guess i I lost about a gallon of tank space.


Or has anyone dropped there tank. how much work will these be..

I'm thinking a BFH will help fix the dent.

 

Do a search for fr33land. I know he fabbed up a nice skid that bolted on top of the existing factory plate. Other than that, I am buggin PUREJEEP now to come out with something but it looks like they've got too many projects going on right now

 

yeah, they have alot going on.

I'm hoping Fulltraction has the Skid plate with the Long arm, like they did on the TJ's..

I cant believe what a piece of crap the stock skid is. Although it did have the weight of the jeep sliding on it.

 

Yeah, the 97-01 TJ gas tank skids were a piece of crap too if you remember but then they got a bit beefier after that. But that's okay, it just gives us a reason to upgrade to something a lot better. Only problem is, nobody makes one yet :sad:

 

My Tank is about a gallon less too! Sucks when you commute 150 miles a day. I could use that extra gallon. I'm gonna have to pull off the oe skid and pound it back out.

 

Sorry if you need that extra gallon, but the way I look at it everytime I make a dent in it I get extra ground clearance for free. I would actually be interested in a tank that had less capacity at the benefit of greater center ground clearance. WOL- see if you can get someone started on one of these.

 

thats what I need ground clearance, I was trying to get on top a big rock,

we call it jeep rock. Its a nice poser shot, when you get on top. I just could'nt get up it, So I gunned it a couple times. 4 tire burnout. and finally made it..

I think I just need to smash the skid for the extra couple inchs of clearance..


I smacked the front bumper very hard. be it only removed the paint... I kinda had to push the front up on the rock, sliding on the bumper, its was steep.

 

You knew that was coming!

 

I'm waiting on the kid in the club to put them online. I'm the first unlocked jeep to make it, and the first JK, that we know of

 

Damn, I should have stayed and extra day! By the way, I'll stay awat from Mudpits in PA from now on! Spent all morning Sunday cleaning the underside and the Radiator! Man that was a long ride home. The ticket I got didn't help matters!
