    Is a 5mm aluminum gas tank skid plate thick enough? I have 4" lift every other rockware and SG skid plates on my truck, but the gas tank skid plate was stock. I have never hit anything with it and there is no rust on the under carriage, but since they are delicate, I wanted better protection...

    I am glad to say that I have removed my rear bumper, gas tank skid plate and gas tank. It would not have been a very difficult task except that every bolt was seized with rust. The skid plate was also very rusty and almost rusted through in several places. I guess that is what you get when a...

    Alright, I have a 95 d-90 soft top that is my pride and joy. It smells though, like Gas! I noticed the rubber thing on top of the gas tank under the drivers side rear wheel well has a bit of a crack and it appears that Gas is sloshing out every now and again. How hard is it to replace that...

    I plan to install a SlickRock Defender 90 Stainless Steel Gas Tank Skid plate and wanted to know what size bolts will need to be replaced - I'd like to have these on hand prior to the removal of the old plate... Any tips on this install would be great. Thanks in advance. Paul

    Don't have my shop manual handy but isn't there something attached to the gas tank mounted in the rear passenger side wheel well that is supposed to prevent condensation in the tank? I was having lots of problems with intermittent hesitation until I put in some gas line dryer. Then the truck...

    I'm looking to replace my fuel level gauge in my 1986 RHD diesel 110. The neighbor borrowed my tester so I cant test the ohm range for the gauge. Autometer sells two gauges (below) and I'm trying to figure out which is appropriate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 73Ωs Empty...
