RR EVAP skid $90
SKID row oil/tranny skid $350 +/-
RC diff guards $60ea
stock rubi skids and sliders
bang for your buck the best setup imo
the only quirk with the skid row is that after abusing it, its inched up a little closer to the exaust tube on the drivers side and rattles a little. just need to bend the pipe a little and you're good. you could of course relocate the EVAP but I was just lazy and got the skid instead.

unless prices have changed, it only cost me $70 to replace mine and again, this is after knocking it off 3 times. the evap is not bolted on but rather, slides onto tabs from the back of your jeep forward so if you hit it, more times than not, it just slides off the tabs and hangs there.

yup, that's all i'm saying. protecting the evap is not critical and damaging it will not leave you stranded on the trail. from experience, hitting it won't even guarantee that it'll be rendered broken. and if anything, i would prefer to relocate it instead of skid it.
