Default tomken gas tank skid

im looking into the tomken gastank skid cause it does not mount to the frame rail. the reason i cant use that type is because my jeep used to have a tow package on it and it was removed but the bolts were rusted and snapped off and are now stuck in the rail.

any opinions on how good this skid is?

any body know how it mounts?

If the bolts snapped off in the rails, just pull off the rear bumper, remove the nut strips and replace them. Get new bolts and bam...back in business. I know JCR Offroad sells new nut strips but I can't recall the price

I have wheeled that same skid for 5 years and 3 different rigs. Its plenty tough. It mounts to the tank hanger bolts at the front and the rear crossmember at the rear
