Metalcloak’s front diff skid sneak peek

[RubiconReese]

That is why we stayed with hex head bolts. You should be able to get an open end wrench on the heads enough to get them off.

Why not make it recessed like you've done on the on the FAD skid plate? Id much rather sacrifice to add 3/8" or so to have the bolts recessed to prevent damage. I think most Jeeps owners has had their fair share of removing damaged bolt heads which is honestly a nightmare.

Trying to keep it from sticking so far forward to catch on. It would move the front edge about 3/4" forward to work.

Can someone please confirm we are supposed to fill the front differential with 1 Liter of fluid as specified in the OEM specs and NOT to fill to the new fill plug till the fluid flows out as typical. The new fill plug on the differential cover appears to be higher than the OEM cover.

Correct, Stock fluid fill capacity.

FYI, It says in the instructions:

"Note: Be sure to fill oil to manufacture specifications."
