      I would recommend gen-right... I have one, and love it!

      It has a dimple for the drop in the center of the tank for the fuel pump. I hear over time the "other skids" can screw up the pump from pressure. The gen-right install is easy. I have a couple pics of mine HERE.

        So is that dimple important? Do like both.

            My $0.02. I have the Kilby, it is stout and works well. If I had to do it again, I would go with the GenRight as I believe it is engineered better. GenRight even has a version that will allow you to move your rear axle back, at the cost of some fuel storage. Robert at GenRight is very helpful. Give them a call.

              good choice.
              genright puts a lot of thought into their designs, and this is no different.
              i will be using the genright tank/skid combo for my coilover stretch build up shortly.

              when you call over there, speak with Robert. he'll see that you are clear on your purchase.

                I have the second Kilby YJ skid produced, I've never had an issue with it.

                  Yes, it's a relief for the fuel pump dimple on the stock tank. With out the dimple (kilby style) the fuel pump is pushed up aginst the locking ring causing an EVAP leak and a Check engine light.

                    Sorry, I can't take all this credit everybody is giving me in this thread... I was thinking about kilby originally until I was steered correctly by Dukes69. I'm happy with my purchase.

                          If there wasnt a reason for the dimple then companies wouldn't have designed a skid with it.

                          Price is soon forgotten, quality isn't

                            Maybe it's an OBD II thing?
