I was installing my RCI full skid plate protection and I hit a HUGE snag. If you have Westcott sliders already installed the fuel tank skid plate will NOT install without modification. The RCI plate has two bolt slots on the front right corner (one of them is a slot and the other is a hole at the end) and the Westcott slider has a bolt right in the middle of those two bolt slots. The is no way to install it without machining a new slot for the existing slider bolt. I have an appointment with Westicott and they will machine me a new slot for their bolt.
Here's a picture to show the issue:
I will post all the pictures once I get the full tank plate fixed on Wednesday.
BTW, the RCI transfer plate's cross member also uses the same bolt hole that the Westcott rock sliders (the front one this time) but you can remove it and put the cross member using the same bolt but the cross member will be about 1/4" lower. It does not affect the installation and I doubt you will notice the difference but I thought it would be good to know.
