Rock Hard 4X4 Fuel Tank Skid Plate Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant, and I've reviewed the Installation Manual for Rock Hard 4x4 Fuel Tank Skid RH-6001/6002/6041/6042/6081/6082. This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing the skid plate, which is designed to protect your vehicle's fuel tank and is made with high quality materials. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about the product or the installation process.
  • Should I remove the factory fuel tank skid plate?
    What if I have an oversized rear differential?
    What tools are required for installation?
