So pull the spacers, add driveshaft and EVO good to go? Sorry just making 100% sure before pulling trigger on ~$800 worth of parts.

 

How is the install on this? Seems like it would only take a wrench and a few hours in my driveway.

 

I had a local shop do it because I'm not up to the task myself, but doesn't look too hard. Here's the installation sheet from EVO. I tried to attach the whole PDF with pics, but it's too large or something. PM me your email address and I can email it to you if you want it with the pics. You can always get it from EVO too.

EVO MFG
EVO-1091 2012+ JK Oil Pan Skid

PLEASE READ: It is recommended that the oil pan be drained before install. Although it is sealed with RTV silicone and will retain to the engine
block well with all bolts removed. If you decide to install EVO Skid without draining the oil, do so when oil is cold and at YOUR OWN RISK.

1. Recommended, follow manufacturer’s instructions on
draining engine oil.
2. With oil drained, using a 10mm wrench remove all bolts
from oil pan. DO NOT REMOVE PAN FROM ENGINE.
3. Carefully install EVO Oil Pan Skid over factory oil pan. Make
sure you do not hit or tap on factory pan.
4. Using the two nuts (one on driver front, one on pass rear
corners) quickly hand tighten the nuts on these two studs.
This will keep the pan and skid held to the engine.
5. Begin to thread BY HAND all factory bolts into engine
through both the EVO Skid and factory oil pan holes. Make
sure to thread all bolts in at least 3 full turns on each bolt
before using a wrench. You are threading into aluminum
and therefore they are easy to strip. Thread first few turns
by hand is a very important step.
6. Using a 10mm wrench and/or ratchet begin to thread all
bolts until they begin to touch the EVO Skid. VERY
IMPORTANT: Do not fully tighten any bolts/nuts at this
stage.
7. With all bolts just slightly touching the EVO Skid, begin to
tighten all bolts in a crossing fashion to 85 in/lbs. The
pan/skid will work its way to become tight and compressing
the RTV sealant. You will need to go over all bolts in this
crossing fashion a few times until all bolts are tight.
8. Double check that all bolts are tight by starting at one bolt and going around in a circle and ending at the bolt you
started with. You may need to do this a couple times aswell. Importance is placed on having all bolts equally tight.
9. With all bolts tight, follow factory specifications on finishing the oil change.


Before you start engine: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENGINE OIL INSTALLED.
500 miles after install, check for any oil residue or leaks from pan.

are the two nuts that are on each side of the transmission that the treaded stud if facing up.
2. Manuals: With these two nuts removed, slide the EVO transmission skid over these two studs where the
studs stick through the two slots cut into the EVO Skid. Thread factory nuts onto studs.
3. Autos: With these two nuts removed, using a floor jack, lift the transfer case about a ½” so the studs are just
protruding past the transmission mounting plate. Now slide the EVO skid onto the stud on the driver side.
Make sure stud is lined up with the hole in the EVO Skid and then carefully lower transmission/transfercase
with the jack. On passenger side, install the supplied passenger side mount bracket onto transmission stud,
round hole on EVO Bracket at this end, slot side on EVO Skid. Install both factory nuts at transmission and
supplied 3/8” hardware at mating between EVO Passenger skid mounting bracket and EVO Skid.
4. Using the supplied 7/16” Hardware, install front of skid to oil pan. Transmission skid should be on the lower
side of the two tabs on back of the EVO oil pan skid.
5. Tighten all bolts: Factory bolts 37 ft/lbs, 7/16” bolts to 60 ft/lbs, 3/8” bolt to 40 ft/lbs



EVO-1093 JK Transmission Crossmember and Exhaust Skid



1. Remove factory transfercase skid (4 bolts: 2 on the center of the transmission cross member, 1 on gas tank, 1

4. Remove only the nut on the driver side lower front control arm at the control arm mount at the frame. Leave
bolt installed.
5. Carefully lift EVO Transmission Crossmember/Exhaust Skid up. Pay attention to round tab on driver side with
a hole in it. This hole needs to connect with factory lower control arm bolt. Using Factory hardware, thread
the two bolts a couple of turn’s by hand that hold the gas tank skid to the transmission crossmember.
Overlapping the EVO Skid on top of the skid for the gas tank. (Factory gas tank skid portion will be
sandwiched between the transmission crossmember and EVO Skid).
6. Thread a couple of turns by hand the nut back onto factory lower control arm sandwiching the EVO Skid
against the frame. Thread the center bolt into transmission crossmember.
7. If your JK came with a skid/bar forward of the transmission crossmember use this hardware. If not use
supplied EVO hardware. Thread a couple of turns the two forward most holes on the bottom of the frame on
both the driver and passenger sides through the EVO Skid.
8. Reinstall the factory transfercase skid over the EVO Skid at the transmission crossmember and factory
location at the gas tank and driver side frame will factory hardware.
