Good info man.
Was the driveshaft in your way at all? I was planning on taking it off when I do mine. Only takes a few minutes.
Edit: then again I also have a motorcycle jack to lift/support the tank so I wont need it like you used for support.

It's really only in the way for one bolt. The passenger front bolt, my torque wrench would not fit and my 1/2" drive ratchet would not fit either had to use my 3/8" drive. That's the only one that I had issues with. I was able to get the impact on every other bolt for the skid.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Amazing job!

Thanks for all the information and pictures! It doesn't look too bad, but I can definitely see how a second pair of hands would make it easier.

Not without paying an outrageous amount of cash. I was getting quoted about 4 hours of labor at $65-100 per hour. I'll just need to either go home when my dad is around to help or head your way. It's about a 2 hour drive regardless. It'll probably go smoother with someone who's already done it.

Looks good bro! Glad you posted the part numbers for those clips. I broke mine a while back and Jeep said I couldnt get those seperately.

I just installed my tank. While i was at it I modified the tank to allow maximum flex down the road when i get sway bar discos and longer shocks.
