hey i have a quick question. I need a gas tank skid bad!! i am going to buy one because i have no fab skillzzz. ok so i have an aftermarket Hitch in the rear. (my xj didnt come with one stock, its a Uhaul brand hitch).
Do i have to remove my hitch to attach the gas tank skid?? im asking this because fishing the bolts thru the unibody was a pain in the ***!!!! can i just take off the nuts and bolt the gas tank skid underneath the hitch? do they use the same mounting points???

 

Save yourself a lot of Money and get 1 off a Grand Cherokee with the V 8 in a jy I paid 20 dollars for mine and it's been holding up great for about 2 years now and just bolt the skid plate behind your trailer hitch

 

^^ i really like the cheeper option. what year Zj do i look for? does it bolt on, or do i need too drill holes or wat?

 

94-98 gc v8 and it will bolt up

 

And if you want to upgrade your steering grab the pitman arm and all the steering linkage all of it cheep upgrade just make sure all the tierods are nice and tight

 

well the gas tank skid works great and I came down on it many times. it only scrapes the paint off.

 

if i lived anywhere close to you, i'd just be handing over my paychecks to you because of all the parts i'd want you to make..... great job!

 

thanks made my day

My newest upgrade

actually its just the tie rod thats an upgrade, all the rest is about the same with just minimal differences, nothing that actually upgrades the steering

 

false. zj pitman arms offer about a 1" drop

 

Oops didnt see the pitman arm, only saw the draglink lol
