Re: Skid plate on '89 YJ
Joe,
You've been told how the nuts are mounted and hopefully the plate has
been lowered in the past 15 years.
The problem of spinning has been covered but also is the problem if
they come out 'to easy'. If the bolts turn to easy that would tell me
they are twisting and will snap with more wenching - ouch. Drilling
those scuckers out is really a problem because they rarely snap off
flat allowing for a 'centered' drilling position if they snap inside
the 'nut'.
I dropped my 97 TJ plate and it's REALLY heavy and I lowered mine solo
(I had no idea of what I was getting into) but was lucky. As others
told you be sure to support the drive train at each end. I used
blocking and a four wheel ball bearing dolly with 2x4's to move it out
of the way.
While down there I'd reccomend replacing any bushings or stabalizers.
If you have a transmission oil sump I'd open that up, clean, and
replace filter. I cleaned out gunk, removed rust, primed and painted.
It would also be a good time to inspect seals, bolts, or possible
cotter pins.
I obviously do not have knowledge of your model but what I am trying to
say is check out everything you can think of while you are under there
and I hope you have a good work space (warm) to do your work.
Good Luck
