Default Does this Xfer case armor need to be fixed?

I am wondering if I need to un-bend or replace the Xfer case armor. its bent up quite a bit on the pass side. I am thinking maybe it is putting bad pressure on the Xfer case? Or putting strain on the driveline? Or is this just normal wear and tear? (ignore the 2 dents in the gas tank shield, there ok)

Think of it as gained clearance.

I think you need to start looking at after market skids. The metal will never be strong like it was before, the gas tank skids are a joke.

Well that's a good thing to know. Make sure you have a quarter tank or less before you try to install a new gas tank skid
