I think it likely only effects Jeeps with 3.21 gears so if you have a rubicon or 3.73 gear package you might be fine. I haven't heard of anyone else having rattle issues with theirs but most have had 3.73 or 4.10 gears or higher.

The instructions are minimal with poor photos. Anyone experienced with jeeps and mechanics won't have a problem but I can see where someone without experience and a good tool set could have issues installing it. Better instructions for novices would be an improvement. It seems to me that many of the companies making aftermarket Jeep parts have great products but don't know how to write up decent procedures.
Having an extensive tool set and plenty of wrenching experience, it was just a matter of removing a bunch of nuts and bolts (along with the transfer case skid plate, front cross bar and cross member), installing the two mounting brackets and the plate, and then reassembling everything. The clearance between the transmission pan and the exhaust is really tight. I used a persuader (3 lb. mallet). Oh, and you need to support the transfer case with a jack before removing the cross member. Failing to do this could result in flattened body parts.
All in all the skid is high quality, looks good and should protect the trans pan and cooling line. Better instructions and I'd have given it 5 stars.
It is a very heavy, strong piece of steel. Should work great for it's intended purpose.
