Strange Damage to Gas tank shield and others from our First Jeep Jamboree

[1USMC]

Not strange. .. myself and a few others have had that issue as well.

... I had the same issue with my drive shaft hitting the gas tank skid .....

Oh.. And now you all tell me !! Why am I always the last to know ??

Add what Matt said to the fact that I believe you are running 5 1/2" of lift to begin with, no?

Good question.. I started off with a 4" SL but that was compressed down to a 2 1/2 ish lift in the L rear when I was done. So I have posted this > http://www.theultimatejeep.com/showt...ll=1#post43417

He is familiar with the adjustable trackbar, he had me put mine on.

Yes indeed ! And we had a good time doing it !

So glad I have an American Rebel rear diff cover!!

I was glad to have the 4XG but if I keep doing this and start getting more rambunctious ( and I will), I would really like to get a complete armored Diff cover, especially after I saw first hand what can happen !



As for a rear adj track bar, I had considered it and thought I did not have a need for one ( w/ the SL). Well after the great off roading we were fortunate to be able to do, I was rubbing the gas tank even after the shield was out of the way ! So yes, I think I need to start seriously considering getting one myself before I get a chance ( and that might be a while) to get off road like that again.

Honestly I didn't think that would be an issue with the superlift since the axle is limited from coming up under the body as far due to the bump stop extensions.

Update.....

Adjustable rear track bar in garrage.... may take me a while to find time to install ( whats new ?). I'm thinking that I may only need to move a 1/4 to 1/2 inch ish towards the passenger side.

I will add the Steel Amarillo's 12 bolt rear differential cover when it comes out. I'm thinking that will give me a little more protection than the 4G cover that I currently have and did a good job for me.

Gas tank shield now trimmed. See photos

I'm looking forward to putting them all to the test again !
