[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 456172, member: 18877"] I had to replace the tank skid plate last year in my JKUR and the hardest part was how rusty the bolts were... the plate was really bad, but that is why I had to replace it. Raising and lowering it was the easy part. The fact that the tank straps are integrated into the skid plate means that you don't have to be super careful with your jack when lowering and raising the tank. The metal plate supports the plastic tank and is formed to it. You do want the tank as empty as you can, because physics, but as long as you have a decent floor jack the job isn't bad. Unless you have to deal with rust down in the Huston area like we do up here in the North Woods. [/QUOTE]
