Well we finally got the fuel run down in the tank so we could install Seans tank skid from Savvy. (one of his xmas presents)

Pics tell the story well.....
Ugly old skid & safety first!

Before measurement (on stands)

After measurement (on stands) Gained an Inch of tank clearance!
(skid is adjustable and can be moved up if you Also have at least a 1" body lift)
Image
Note that the skid actually covers the D/S of the tank where the stocker didn't.

This was a super easy install. The tank comes w/ ALL necessary hardware to include new mounting studs, if the old ones are bad, w/ retainers and new nuts. It also includes new push in plastic retainers for the wheel well liners and zip ties so everything can be put back together nicely. Savvy Really did their homework on this one and it is well worth the $. Savvy Skid weighs several pounds more than the stocker, is way better protection and LOTS of weight less than a comparable steel skid.

If interested, see more about Savvy here: http://www.savvyoffroad.com/

I too will be doing this install soon. Along with their aluminum front bumper.

STEVE; As for the KJ, I seriously doubt it. Saavy tends to build for the TJ's first. The YJ people just recently got their stuff, and I haven't read / heard squat regarding the JK folks.

(fwiw, the two guys who own this company are official vendor's and active posters on JeepForum).

JJ - Nice to see you taught the boy well. :wink: so did he elect to put the Saavy decal on, or toss it?

If we do the savvy sticker, we will trim the sticker so it is only the letters. Might just end up on the back window, he really doesn't seem to care if he uses it or not.
