    Thanks man.

    Hey, would you mind looking up those fuel line part numbers in your service manual? I want to see how much they go for.... might just order a new set. If there's an IPB diagram i can point them out for you.

    No problem, all I have to do is find where I put the manual.

    Nice How to Matt a little late for me hahahah. LMAO you had the tools bro thats funny I guess you were in a hurry LOL The part I list in my thread is a direct replacement I could not find a difference holding the one off my jeep and those side by side they were exact. I won't be dropping my tank to do that mod I'll just get in there with the dremel and take my time covering the tank and stuff with a wet towel and good ventilation should to the trick I hope or I'll be starting from scratch with a new Jeep hahah

    Lol yeah man I can't believe I did that. The ironic part is that it takes less time to disconnect them properly than it does to pry the clips out. I got a set of the Ford 3/8 & 5/16 clips too and they didn't work.... but I'm not too worried since the ones I broke were just the evap lines and I got them back together pretty good. If I get an evap system DTC ill know what to replace.

    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.
