Surprised I missed you. We were over there on Saturday.

How is the sound with the new top? Louder? Quieter? Same?
Oh it's louder, but not obnoxiously so. Keep it below 65 for phone calls. :LOL:

For whatever reason I always need to make it harder. Can’t pivot the plate up for the forward mounts because the plate hits this part of the tank shield?

I think the 2 door fuel tank is more forward than on the 4 door. Will see what Evo says.
Could you just take a grinder and notch that corner out? Curious, as I was about to order those skids.

That may be what I have to do. Waiting to hear back from EVO Manufacturing for their thoughts first.

I really like the skids as you only add a bit over 30lbs (you remove the factory brace/skid) to protect vital parts.

I really like these extra pockets if that's what you are talking about?

That is pretty cool, but I was curious about the room around the roll bars. I mounted an air compressor on the back of the roll bar with a bracket I made and I'm afraid that the angle of the fastback is too steep to be able to still use it.

Here are some more pictures. I think you would be okay but I know my tank will not fit there now.

Next up the Evo skid plates....

  • EVO Manufacturing JL ProTek Exhaust Loop Skid (11.5lbs)
  • EVO Manufacturing JL ProTek Engine Trans Skid (30.1lbs)
Will the exhaust loop skid fit the 2 door? I was under the impression that the 2 door loop is different and this skid won't fit.

Also, I saw on another forum some guy did end up notching the engine/tranny skid where it meets the fuel tank.

They fit John's (@jlopes68) 2 door so I'm confident they'll fit mine. But yes, I may end up using the jack to crush the plate into place. Waiting on Evo's recommendations now.

Quick question from one of your older post. Is the amazon link for the Trimlock the link for the correct diameter? I'm about to get some as I was wheeling up in the mountains a week or so ago and I'm still trying to pull pebbles out of the cracks!

Ty!

I linked the correct size and just verified they haven't changed it, so get:

Trim-Lok Rubber Tubing Seal – .276” Outside Diameter, .206” Inside Diameter, 25’ Length
