I'll have to x3 that one, I actually didnt have a metric ratcheting wrench but found a 5/8 (I think) was close enough to get it snug and then used the 16mm to get it tight all the way.

Anyone done this on a 12? They added a thin skid from the factory but I'm trying to figure out if the PSC skid will still work. The hoses seem to be a PITA to remove.

Def alot easier with ratcheting wrench for the front bolts. But overall, not a difficult install. Did mine with in the driveway.

Why skid it, when you can just relocate it. I don't understand why it was mounted where it is in the first place, and why people skid it there, taking slightly more clearance away from your jeep. Mine was relocated to above the rear axle, using minor parts (fittings, hose clamps and hose) to reconnect the hoses, and no mounting bracket necessary. Don't waste your money...

Thought I would attach a pic showing my setup. Mounted directly to the tub floor. Works great and should have a rock come close to it.

If it is like the Skid Row it was so easy even Obama could do it!
