![]() ![]() Do not fully tighten any bolts/nuts yet.Ĩ. Use a 10mm socket, 10mm combo wrench (gear wrench works well), thread in all of the bolts until they are just touching the EVO Oil Pan Skid. The block is aluminum so you can easily strip or cross thread the bolts.ħ. Make sure you get at least 3 full turns into the engine. Thread the remaining bolts in to the engine. Quickly finger tighten these onto the two studs to hold the EVO skid and oil pan to the engine.Ħ. Install the two nuts (driver front, passenger rear). Be careful not to hit or tap on the factory pan.ĥ. Carefully install the EVO Oil Pan Skid over the factory pan. Install some tape on the corners of you EVO Oil Pan Skid so that you don't lose a bolt or nut down in between the oil pan and the skid.Ĥ. Remove the bolts and the two nuts holding the oil pan to the engine with a 10mm socket. Drain the engine oil, or proceed to the next step. Now the oil will flow out instead of just pooling in the bottom of a skid.ġ. I like that EVO a tapered guard for the oil drain plug. In either case I recommend you have oil on hand just in case. The RTV silicone may retain the oil pan to the block, however if you decide to not drain the oil, I recommend doing it when the oil is cold and at YOUR OWN RISK. I know have enough popcorn packing to probably ship the Jeep in a box AdditionalĮVO-1091B 2012+ JK Oil Pan Skid Installation:ĮVO and I recommend that you drain the oil from the oil pan before you begin installation. EVO had a good price point at $400 for their skid system and it was different than what I had installed before. This time I decided to go with EVO Manufacturing. I have ran River Raider's skid plates before and helped install Rockhards on a friends JK. The 2012's and up came with a few interesting additions in the way of a plastic cover for the auto transmission sump, an oil cooler line that runs below the transmission and of course a big chuck of exhaust pipe over on the driver side. The 2012 and up JK's came just like the rest with no real skid protecting the oil pan and transmission.

Simply cut off your OEM sway bar link mount, OEM shock bracket, grind your cuts smooth and bolt our Grinder into place. After each off road trip reapply paint and they will look new again. They are going to get abused! Simply apply your favorite cheap can of rattle paint prior to install, let dry, and install. Why Do These Not Come Powdercoated? We ship our Grinders raw for a very specific reason. ![]() Our system does not require special length shocks and is compatible with 100% of aftermarket Jeep JK shocks. Instead, leave it in it's OEM location, but add a skid plate like this system.ĭo I Need to Order New Shocks? No. That 1.5" of clearance has now potentially cost you a shock. ![]() That point is made when a rear lower shock relocation kit specifies it may require new shorter rear swaybar links and/or coil spring spacers. If installing a shock, but moving one of it's mounting points, your vehicle will undercompress/bottom out that shock and cause it damage plus limit your up travel that new 1.5". Why Not Relocate the Shock Mount Up? Say, 1.5". You lose absolutely zero travel, meaning your ride quality, articulation, and suspension travel are NOT sacrificed. These DO NOT move your lower shock mount up, allowing absolutely any JK shock (factory or aftermarket) to be installed. These Grinders have been redesigned to be installed on non-coilover Jeeps with any lift height. They are designed to protect your factory lower control arm mount from absolutely any abuse. Our trail tested Grinder skid plates have been used for years in our RECON coilover conversion. Each skid is fully boxed 3/16th inch steel and hand welded for extreme attention to detail. Protect your rear lower control arms with our heavy duty bolt on skid plates. Designed for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 2/4 Door Rear D44 Housing. ![]()
