Halltrail TJ skid owners + Fumoto Valve

[sherwoodiv]

I was curious how much bending people with halltrail skids have had near the oil drain plug on TJs. I got one of those Fumoto valves since I'm lazy and on my YJ I've not found the exact funnel system that wont overfill and get oil everywhere. I thought I would try out the Fumoto valve with the nipple. Here is a pic of it installed without the skid. The YJ had no bending but I was only running blues.

Is that sticking out past the skid? I would remove that immediately and put the stock bolt back in.

Hello thread archeologist!

It can't stick out past the skid.

The skid also hasn't flinched to several beat downs. It doesn't look any closer to the valve. I think I'm good, until I'm not good, even then I bet the nipple will deform before it leaks.

Ha, I swear this thread was at the top. I didn't go digging for sure.

That's awesome.
