    I crawled under my recent buy to touch a few things under the truck. My bad neck and back, I just moved a little, looking under the gas tank area and feeling around the U-joint for a zerk, must be sealed. Could not believe the gas tank is exposed like it is. What skid plate have you bought or plan to buy first? I'd sure love a cool front bumper sometime. Seems some protection for the tank should be first.

    I just put a set of Pelfreybilt skids on mine, all except the gas tank. I may get one in the future, maybe. As for the 3 other skids, I like them. They were pretty simple to install, thanks to the use of a floor jack.

    Thank you. If I can sell my 07 Civic, I'll get a couple skid plates and a bumper somewhere. I need to so some searching for a supplier I like, one close to home in Reno, NV where I pass thru each week.
