I’ve hit boulders square with the rear one so the Jeep stops in it’s tracks, but it’s designed so well the pinion doesn’t get touched. I can just drag the diff over the boulder with zero issues.Rattle can in tow.
Figured I’d start with something looking nice only to get the hell knocked out of it.
What pack is that? Any pictures of the flaps open?Not directly Jeep-related, but outdoors and overland related…
Got all the bits and pieces in to build my first aid / trauma kit.
It’ll stay under the rear seat for now. I eventually plan to get molle panels in the bed, at which time I’ll mount it back there near the tail gate along with the fire extinguisher.
The pack is from Amazon (sold by MediTac), but it’s basically the same bag that MyMedic used to use for their MyFAK large and still uses for the Construction Pro kit. I’ve hacked it a bit by adding Velcro in a few spots and repurposing the patches from another kit for easier way finding.
How did your frame skids mount up? I can't get passenger on - interference from tank skid:
My gas tank skid is different, as I have the belly skid from next venture, but it’s thicker than the stock skid. I was under the impression that it would go on easily with stock skids. I’ll look for some pictures. It’s been a couple of months since I put them on, but I trimmed one of them, but due to the next venture skids. I’m almost sure it was the passenger side rear frame LCA skid.How did your frame skids mount up? I can't get passenger on - interference from tank skid:
Does your tank skid have that circled tab there? It is literally impossible to mount. Should I just cut the skid down?
These aren’t perfect pictures, and I trimmed the skid more than was necessary, but here goes. It has held up great under lots of abuse. Three pictures of the passenger side. One of the driver.How did your frame skids mount up? I can't get passenger on - interference from tank skid:

If it were me, I’d gently try to bend in that tab on the gas tank skid. Don’t try to notch the tank skid on the vehicle. Too much rush of hitting the plastic tank. I’d you not have the LCA skid like I did, I used a grinder. But since you don’t have one. Sawzall, band saw, etc will work fine. Then just repaint it with chassis paint.
