| Post subject: | Rear Fuel Tank Skid....spacing/fit question? |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O.K. So I got all the skids on...but I have one more question about the fuel tank skid. On the rear of the tank (side towards the rear axle) I noticed that on mine the tank and skid plate are only about 3/16ths of an inch apart. Will this evenutually move enough that it will rub the tank and possibly cause a leak? Cause the edge of the skid is sharp. Or since it is bolted down, will it remain that distance from it? Could someone check the distance between their tank and skid plate on the side facing the rear axle and let me know how far apart theirs are? I hate to take it back off just to bend the skid out some so it is further away from the tank. It seems the same distance all the way across the rear of the tank. And I pushed the skid all the way back before bolting it down. OH..and I have a trailer hitch also that is bolted down with it. If that would hold it in place any better. Thanks for any info you can give... Pics would be good too, if you can get a camera in there to take pics. Clark (SupermanWV) |

Sounds about the same as mine. No problems so far but, I haven't looked at it after all the yanking we did to get me out of a few snow drifts, yesterday. |
