Skid Row Skid plate install on Ruby

Kat · Sep 7, 2007

Hi Guys,
Yes Ruby needs a skid plate, from the factory has NOTHING covering the oil pan/transmission on a manual (auto has trans cover) so i am going to install a plate today and take pics before during and after for anybody else that has a JK. My work, of what i do, is good but i hate doing it.

I will be back later,

:cheer:

Well now its done , It went pretty well over all. The directions were good but need some help (wrench sizes, moving the engine bolt NOT EASY).
getting the brackets installed on eather side of the engine on the mounts was not easy. Then it was on to unbolting the transfer case skid plate in the front and loosen the back. next was to put the plate in place with the floor jack and attach the strut brackets and slide the back part over the transfer case plate. Last was to tighten ALL bolts that were loosened or removed and take pics.
It took me about 2 hours in the driveway, would have been nice to have someone handing me tools.
