I did some skids last year, Diffs, control arms, oil pan. I thought I had done the engine, but I hadn't and went for the lift,etc.

I have the Rough country fuel skid sitting in the shed and I just ordered the JCR Engine Skid due this week. Hoping I can get into a shop or dealer to have them installed Friday so I'm set for the season.

I don't have a good place to do an install nor do I have a floor jack and stands.

Iszat a plug "D" ? I built a solid skid under the trans and T-case , for the engine I just used a store bought "SLAM Gard " Its glued on with silicone and seams to do its job of looking pretty. Has anyone actually hit the pan ? My axle is so close to it , I just thought it would be the driveshaft or differential first . FjR68
