Was the reason to drop the tank only to do the modifications to the skid?

No, you need to drop the tank to install the new skid plate. Its an upgraded skid plate made of thicker steel and has mounting points for the transfer case skid plate.
I decided to modify the new skid plate before installing it since its a lot easier that way.
I see now. I didn't read the whole thread initially and when I did the answer was there. I've modified a few of them without pulling the tank and thought maybe that was why you pulled it.
I must of missed something. So you replaced the gas tank skid with a better one that is not OEM? I thought that all the OEM ones were not being redone by anyone.

The stock tank skid does NOT come with the attachment point for the middle skid plate, the replacement one is heavier and has a tab for attaching the adjoining skid plate.Originally Posted by pjmjr508
