Wondering if anyone has recently ordered a new Genright EXT Tank/Skid and attempted to install it?
I ordered one thru David at Northridge and got it in Thursday. Upon inspection, I noticed the axle side brackets were not the same as the factory mounts and/or my Rokmen skid. Additionally, the instructions state and pics indicate using the 7 factory nuts to bolt it up. So apparently there's been a change . I started the install after measuring carefully and making sure the width of the skid matched perfectly to the inside frame measurements, and double checking the box and sticker on the tank that say "03-04 TJ/LJ EXT Crawler". I assumed the bracket would mount to a factory, pre-drilled hole, which made sense as the kit came with two bolts & nuts, 4 washers and 2 spacers. Needless to say, there's no factory hole for a perfect fit. I guess it requires the installer to drill a hole thru the frame rails.
I tried contacting Genright and got their VM...leave a message...and I did. It was 4pm on Saturday and didn't expect a call.
I guess my question is, is this the new product and the instructions just haven't been updated or is it wrong? Is there any reason not to use it, considering I can get the holes drilled in the right spot?
Thanks.
