:brick wall:
So i've had the Rusty's rear trailer hitch on for about a month. Today I decided to install my, Rusty's gas tank skid. Guess what... they will NOT work together AT ALL!. I was wondering if anyone else has come across this same problem, and if so, what the the resolution? Kind of in a pickle here

Thanks

How much is it lacking bolting up?

the tank skid is too wide for the hitch to fit around.

They both use the same mounting area on the frame

Nutch out just enough with a cuttin wheel on the skid!.

Ok I just talked to one of the guys at Rustys, He gave me a few tips, Ill go try those out.

Are you kidding me? A rustys hitch and gas tank skid wont work together...wow.

Can you say, more ammo!! There's another black spot for Rusty's!! Let us know if the suggestion they gave you fixed it and what it was, later!!

Kyle

If it were me I would send both back, if they cant figure out how to get two of their own product to work together then I wouldnt trust my vehicle with their product.

I guess that just proves the theory..............Anything from Rusty's is junk.

I ended up notching out a small part of the skid to get it to fit right. Although im kinda disappointed with my work . it doesn't look terrible but I could have done better. oh well. now just waiting for the paint to dry so i can throw it on the Jeep and put this behind me. I know it sucks, but you really cant expect everything to just bolt right in.

well ive got one more part of theirs to install (transfer case skid) Ill hold off on that till later.

If you are putting two products from the same manufacturer on a vehicle then yes you can expect them to work together without any modifications.
Sry but no Rusty's junk on my Jeep.

Well, after a lot of bad noise... Every thing is back together. I do agree with Blue, those two parts should have went together with out hassle.

...that's kinda expected. I can't even get ONE of their products to bolt in by ITSELF.
