Re: Installing Kilby Gas Tank Skid in '01 TJ
 

I realize you have already purchased so this is a moot point for
you... but for anyone else considering TJ armor... the Tomken skid
plate bolts on over the existing armor with no need to move fuel lines
or anything else, and is extremely heavy duty. I have been extremely
pleased with mine.

Re: Installing Kilby Gas Tank Skid in '01 TJ
 

The Tomken is a solid skid plate. I have one myself and regularly bash it
on rocks just to test it (I only have a 2" lift and 31s). The Kilby skid
plate, however, replaces the stock "plate" and raises the gas tank about 1"
(I *think* it's 1"). Both these make for better clearance in the back and
help get rid of that "loaded diaper" look. :-)

No "loaded diaper" here, just a bare rear end:

Bill would rather have the fuel under his ass, one good meal with cabbage and
caulifower and he's airborne...

Yep, it raises it 1" and is stout enough to support the weight of the vehicle.
The fellow I mentioned where we had to remove his bumper, IIRC he was replacing
a Tomken skidplate.

I've been on fire countless times, that's what they make fire
extinguishers for. I should vent the tank, rather than have the fuel run
out the cap on to my exhaust, but then what's life without a little
excitement.
