Yeah their lack of instructions is very frustrating. They only provide the following "drawing sheet". They are all loose bolts, nuts and washers that sandwich the skid plate to the existing stock skid plate which stays in place.

Thank you - I'm really happy with how the paint turned out and how it has held up so far. Yeah the engine hangar bolts are tricky, especially the passenger side. If you take your time and go through the fender liner for install it should go smoothly but feel free to reach out if you run into...

I 100% agree, and think FCA dropped the ball by not adding something so trivial to the cluster that is so critical to the health of the emissions system. I highly recommend getting a ScanGauge in the future for some peace of mind on this...

I'm willing to bet this is the result of the emissions regen cycle occurring. Basically smells "hot" after it completes and back in the garage. Totally normal though. Do you have a ScanGauge or anything to monitor the status of the emissions and regens?

You're welcome. Yeah I thought the same thing when I looked back at the photos, definitely an optical illusion. Unless the RockHard has some extra internal gusseting, I'm not sure where the extra weight would be coming from.

Here's a couple of shots of how the DEF skid has held up. Took one hit towards the passenger side, but just a scrape.

Hey Bill, I've been running these skids for a while and I can't for sure say I've hit the DEF skid even coming down ledges, etc. Usually the tow hitch is the first thing to hit. I've definitely put some weight onto the gas tank skid though and so far it has held up great. The ASFIR skids all...

This is normal after draining the fuel/water separator the fuel system can lose its prime. The same thing happened when I changed my fuel filter for the first time. The proper procedure is to cycle the push button twice to "ON" about 30 seconds each time. Here is an excerpt from the manual:

That sounds like it is coming from the electric power steering pump. it makes that spooling down noise when it cycles off after your steering wheel stops moving. the whistling noise in your video does not sound normal. its on the passenger side frame rail behind the inner fender liner (kind of...

Wish you were on the West Coast!

Metalcloak lifts use hockey pucks as bump stops - they have good instructions with photos here: https://images.metalcloak.com/MetalCloak-Magento/Products/7040-Front-Adjustable-Bump-Stops/II-7040-Adjustable-Bump-Stop-System-Installation-Instructions.pdf You will need to add a nut to the bottom...

I run the Rock Hard 4X4 Patriot Series Flat Step Sliders and I really like them. They stick out just the right amount to be used as a step and don't impact off road clearance versus stock sliders.

Great instructions and photos Brad - agreed that the hardest part was that passenger side engine mount bolt. Definitely had to stare at it for longer than I should've before I figured out the wheel well access.

Here's a few photos, with a closer look at the fuel filter area. I sprayed these with satin black Rustoleum, they come in raw aluminum.

Cool - I'll grab some photos for you all when I can!

For anyone considering ASFIR skids, I just installed those a week ago on my Diesel. Pretty easy install but took me a bit to figure out how to remove the passenger engine mount bolt (easiest through wheel well). They bolted right over all existing skids and don't appear to have lost much...

Bump - price drop

Hey Chris, I didn't have that issue when I installed my Arcus bumper about a year ago. Are those mounting ears on the plate square with the bottom? If not, can they be bent a little bit towards the middle of the plate using a big crescent wrench or pliers?

Yup it is that easy - we are lucky as diesel owners 😁 Jeep did not have the right mindset when they designed the fuse distribution to be located over that battery in the other engines. They certainly weren't thinking about "ease of maintenance". I was having some battery issues a few months ago...

Rick, since you have a diesel it is easy to access the auxiliary battery after removing the main battery. Pull the main battery and there is an access panel beneath it with a couple of screws. Remove this and you will have easy access to the aux battery. You don't need to pull anything from the...
