Has anyone installed the Teraflex HD RockGuard gas tank skid?

[aidanm]

Anybody done this skid? If so: does it actually add additional clearance off the ground and would anybody recommend a higher-performance fuel pump while that’s being done? Have 24lb fuel injectors

No experience with that skid. However, I installed the Rokmen skid on two of my TJs with good results. Simple install and good fitment but a small body lift is required. Couple hundred cheaper than that Teraflex skid.

Consider installing a new Bosch fuel pump if you can find one.

That skid is not 3/16" thick. They used to advertise it as 3/16" thick and I bought it. I put calipers to it and it was .140" thick. I returned it and told them they needed to change their advertising.

The Rokmen website says you can use shims if you don't run a BL, which I don't. Any idea what would need to be done to shim it? I would imagine all the mounting studs would be too short..

Washers. The "studs" are just carriage bolts. You can get longer ones or do what I did and drill them out and replace with stainless nutserts and bolts. I did all mine with M8s.

Im still using my stock skid and saving up for aluminum.

This is my LJ with the Rokmen skid. Install took about 2 hours solo including the gas pump install.

I’m pretty sure that was the one I had on my Jeep before I swapped to the Saavy skid. It does raise the tank 1” so a body lift is needed or space it down. Never had a problem with it. Fit well.
Factory pump works no need for a “high performance pump” the engine only uses so much fuel for a given load. The stock pump returns 1/2 the fuel back to the tank via the return line.
