2 dr Tahoe rear rollpan

[nate3531]

Need some advice fellows. I have a 97 2dr 2wd Tahoe that the po cut the rear bumper frame horns off. So I really only have the option of putting a rollpan on. I bought one with a license plate spot. My problem is I cant bolt it on because the recess for the license plate hits the mount for the rear gas tank. Has anyone else ever done this? Can I trim that metal down without weakening it to much so the pan clears? If I need to post a picture I can do that tomorrow.

How much interference are we talking about? If it's just 1/2" or so, I'd change the tank strap bolt setup to bolts with hooks at the end so you can hang them up on that support higher up, and then fold the horizontal portion up out of the way, instead of cutting it out. That tank is heavy when full and I wouldn't want to do much to compromise the strength of the support.

Sounds like the problem is you bought a pan that is meant for a pickup, not for a Tahoe/Suburban.

Got on with customer service at Stylintrucks, they are going to refund it and pay shipping to return it. Stand up people. it was out of the 30 day return policy and they still done it for me. Now I just gotta find one that will fit.
