got this gas tank skid from a buddy that was at the JY and saw it out of an XJ already he paid 5 bucks and brought it to me so i gave him 10



had to modify it to work on a 97+

see the bend



that would go right into the tank so you got to bend it out



see the welds, gota break or cut them out then a little persuasion with the hammer will straighten the bend out



didnt get any pics of the process cause it was after the camera went missing (hiding under a glove) if i get a chance i will take one while its on the jeep
