Took the TJ to an Offroad Park near me today, and smashed the factory fuel tank skid.
It was a hard enough hit that I initially thought it was my rear bumper.
Absolutely rattled my bones.
After hitting it, I threw a CEL for about 10 min, which went away after re-cranking the Jeep.
Still unsure as to what caused the CEL (haven't hooked up to the scanner yet) but needless to say, the OEM fuel tank skid took a nasty blow.
What's the common work-around for the low-hanging fuel tank, and avoiding damage?
I'd prefer to keep the fuel tank in the factory location.
Any skid plates that offer a bit more protection, or am I overthinking the situation?
