Got my T&T skid plate installed last night but ran into a couple of problems. I got the skid that has the additional interior bracing but somethings not right. When the skid is mounted up the mount for the brace is about a half inch too low. If any of you have done this recently, the brace is supposed to sit on the pinch seam on the inside of the rail. When mine is on that seam, the mount on the skid is about a half inch off....
Not as worried about that though. Ended up installing the skid with out the additional bracing (obviously doesnt need it for just street driving) and drove the jeep and there is a pretty strong vibration that is coming from that area. I tightened up the 4 nuts that secure the tranny to the skid. The vibration is when accelerating and is pretty bad. One thing I noticed is how close the transfer case is to the skid...is everyone elses like that? I think mine may even be slightly touching the skid at one point.
Lastly, when I let off the gas and coast there is a whine noise coming from underneath there in the tranny area...I'm at a loss what is wrong...none of this was happening before the install of the skid. Any help is appreciated...
