I’m thinking of waiting to see how the OEM gas tank skid plate (or is it just a ‘cradle’?) holds up. I believe Scott Brady (Overland Journal) will have more to tell us about that when he speaks in Moab…

Please ask Scott if he’s going to record his remarks - can’t be there but would love to hear what he has to say.

It looks pretty light to me, Bill. I wouldn’t want to put the truck’s weight on it.

Scott’s brief presentation was not recorded, but I have seen a video ‘podcast’ featuring Scott discussing Africa in the Grenadier at length. If I come across the link I will post it here.

PS I have ordered the gas tank skid plate from Rival. Thank you for the insight about the OEM installation.

I've personally talked to two people who got punctured gas tanks from twigs and minor branches getting through the gas tank protection. I think this is a really important protection for my peace of mind.
