Rough country Skid plate causing vibration??

[Fastbusa]

Just installed @Rough Country Suspensions skid plates for my jlu today. Getting a lot of vibration at idle. I've rechecked everything and it's tight and not touching anything. Does anyone have any suggestions by chance what would be causing it, is that normal? This is my first wrangler so ignore my ignorance. Thanks in advance for the help

Remember that adding skid plates adds rigidity to the vehicle. It COULD be normal. (i.e. the normal vibration from the engine that you were used to, is now magnified.

The other 2 thoughts are something is loose, or something is touching.

loose is easy to check.

If you are 100% sure that everything is tight, then you need to check clearance. Exhaust is the first thing I would check for clearance, as it has the most chance for moving a little and causing vibration from touching if there is little clearance when installed.

good luck, I know how frustrating it can be to try to track down a new vibration of sound.

Thank you for the reply, I expected more noise due to it being reflected back up but the vibration caught me off guard.
