- The eTorque battery skid JL4103 is attached to the OEM battery skid plate and provides a thicker skid to resist puncture and denting. First, remove the factory battery skid plate from the vehicle (you can install while in the vehicle but its probably faster to remove it). Then take the 6 provided 5/16" PEM nuts and place them on the inside of the OEM skid plate on the 6 holes that line up with the JL4103. You will be clinching these nuts directly to the OEM skid using the provided riv nut tool and hardware. See the rivnut video below. Place the PEM nut on the inside of the skid plate and then thread the bolt through the washer, rivnut tool and then the OEM skid on the outside. When you tighten the bolt, it will be pulling the nut against the inside of the OEM skid. Once you have all the PEM nuts installed, you can install the JL4103 on the OEM skid using the 5/16" flat head bolts and place the OEM skid back on the vehicle. There will be 2 bolts on the front side of the skid that use OEM hardware to attach the front of the JL4102-6. The OEM skid has a plate the extends up to the JL4101-11 crossmember which protects the lines and hoses for the battery. This plate can be pushed upwards and fastened to the top of the JL4102-7 which is the little L shaped bracket that was inserted into the crossmember JL4101-11. Use hardware to fasten this plate to the JL4102-7.
Installation of this kit requires Rivnuts. We have included our Rivnut Tool (TC0011) in the package, here is a quick demonstration video on the use of this tool:
