Ya it can but you have to cut off like 18" of it to get it to work.

Mine just worked with it.
i had to mod the front to work with my cross member and rock hard skid, as well as build a new mount for the drivers side frame.(my long arm lower control arm mount covered the whole)

Quick question for those with the ProTek engine/auto/crossover skid system......do you notice any NVH transfer from the pan mounted skid through to the trans/crossover skids that are bolted to the crossmember?
Just about to pull the trigger on this system and a friend mentioned I should look at any noticeable NVH issue.
Thanks.

What's NVH ?
Noise and vibration harshness. :thumb:

Engine and trans are rubber mounted and the skids bolt to them directly. The skids vibrate with the engine and trans. So no transfer of vibes there. The crossover skid bolts to the frame crossmember and nothing else so no vibrations there either. If you use an exhaust spacer the exhaust will hit the crossmember skid though and vibrate. You can clearance for that though.
I installed the skids along with the Rancho 2" lift, so I cannot speak to any vibrations solely from the skids, but I did not notice any difference, or any annoying vibrations to worry about.

That should give you a better idea of how it goes in. Used that on my phone during the install, very helpful.

No difference from stock that I have noticed. Top on or off. Granted, I've not mounted a mic or vibration sensor. However, my highly trained ears and finely tune posterior have detected no difference after adding this system to my super quiet and smooth riding JKUR!
