I've been armoring up over the last few months, but noticed some clearance issues after installing my F&R Nth/AEV Diff Sliders.
In the front, there was very little room between the Diff Slider and my Skid Row Engine Skid.
So I put my new grinder to work and chopped a bit.
After getting back from Calico, I noticed that the Rear Diff Skid was grazing the Drive Shaft. Luckily I caught it before it seemed to be a problem (I've had the Jeep up to 80 MPH and no vibe so I'm not going to worry about it!!!).
So again with the grinder I got to chopping! I used the two drain holes as corners and then ground it all out nice and smooth and gave it a coat of paint. I only gave up about a half inch of protection, but gained a ton of clearance.

. . . the Jeep felt good . . . I still had some power to spare. With 33's my Jeep's on-road manners are much better than stock. I'll have to drop down to fifth a few times heading up the Grapevine, especially if I lose momentum, but have no real issue keeping up with traffic. That may change a bit when I go to 35's when my 33's wear out.
Like the fab work Schmo,
