Diff. skid plate install

jw98tj · 02-08-2005, 07:10 PM

May be a stupid question, but here goes. If I install skid plates on the front and rear differentials will it mess up the gaskets?

Is it a full cover or half? If its a half cover you might be ok. I would go ahead and replace the gear oil and put a new gasket on it if it were mine.

Will be the half cover by Warn. I think it is 4 bolts to remove.

I would suggest buying hex-head bolts to use...1/4" longer than the stockers...

here's what my Warns looked like the day I installed them...but I sold them a month or two ago...
