Oil/trans skid plates
So, last Saturday at URE. There was a JK that had a small stump catch and break his transmission line. It got me thinking about transmission and oil pan skids! What do you have or interested in? I am liking the Rock hard system so far.

For the price, I like the EVO setup (oil pan, trans, crossmembers and exhaust crossover). Rock hard doesn't cover the crossmember and you'll take that out eventually.
For a full system, the artec aluminum is cool, but just saw the new metalcloak system and it looks bad ass.
Personally, I don't think a gas tank skid is worth it and the factory t case skid is solid. Just cover the front parts.

I agree. I have the evo set up from the crossmember forward. It's stout and the price is right, I'm very happy with it and my factory tcase and tank skids.

I've run both the EVO setup and the Rock Hard. Current Jeep has the Rock Hard on it. Like it better. It covers enough of the crossmember and in the middle so its effective there as well.

Not many rocks in TX? I've seen many crossmembers trashed where the rock hard doesn't cover. I do like the rock hard design better, but something needs to protect the rest of the crossmember. Personally, I'd just cut some 3/16" steel to cover what rock hard doesn't, weld together and boom, perfect skid.

Another for the EVO, it does the job. Maybe not the most robust skid, but it protects the vitals. After a few years the crossmember skid is beat up, but the engine and transmission skids are like new.
