warrior Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I found a steel gas tank skid plate in a junk yard for a long bed, but I need one for a short bed. Will it fit a short bed, or could I change the mounts to make it fit? and do long beds have a larger gas tank? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Long beds have a longer tank. the skid probably will fit though, you'll just have to cut it down and rework the mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Is the skid still on the truck, or did you pull it? If it doesnt work with your truck, could you tell me the phone # for the place so I could try to get that skid? I have never seen a gas tank skid on an MJ so I can offer no help.

warrior Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 It's still on the truck, I would have pulled it, but the blind nuts on the bed mount were spining and I didn't have a hake saw with me. If I don't use it I'll send you a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 if he doesn't use it send me a PM next. Been looking for a tank skid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here's some pics of the skid plate. so far I cut it down 5" to fit a short bed tank. Next I'll start making so new mounts. I bought a Lincoln 180 mig so this project is perfect to practice on. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisty Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 hey twisty ive got a skid for a short bed you can have if u want it. I'm not sure if youve got the 6 or 7 ft bed though. I've got some materials to build my own. I'll give that a whirl, and if I fail, then I will let you know. I will know in a week or so if my skid will fail. Thanks!!!
