Default Skid Row Auto Trans Install

Has anybody installed the skid row plate on an Auto trans JK? I cannot get the driver side bracket to fit with the trans cooler lines in the way. The only way i can see to get it on is to bend the trans lins. I dont want to do this. Is there a trick or do i have to fab my own bracket?? Thanks in advance!

Yes, I have it with the Auto, and yes I had to bend the lines. I also covered them with heater hose to prevent rubbing.

I mounted the bracket on the OUTSIDE of the skid for that very reason. We just did it last night. Just did a slight adjustment...My friends threw me out from underneath my jeep though....I guess since I was under their Jeeps all day helping they happily jumped under mine to assist me.

Its on there...and its heavy and big....damn....Looks good too. Not that that matters much...

BTW..the bracket is supposed to be on the outside for an auto JK....
