I want to add some underbody protection on my 4 door JK.
So far I narrowed down to two choices below.
The River Raider one has additional protection on gas tank, but the price
is extremely high compared to Protek, besides, if I order it with coating, it
will cost 300 dollars more...

Which one would you choose?

I went with the evo. It looks like the stock tank skid is pretty good.

I have heard this as well.. I am planning to skid up underneath as well. I am planning evo kit as well.. I know i have landed on my tank skid multiple times..

I have the EVO Protek and they fit great and cover everything that is necessary. :yup: Not sure that I would consider paying twice the price and still have to finish them myself. :crazyeyes:

I cannot speak about the River Raider, but I have the EVO skids and they are well designed and built and look like they will do the job. I'd have to be able to justify the additional $440 plus finish before I went with the others.

I've got the full river raider system. Never installed. I would be willing to offer a substantial discount if your interested. I got em raw and painted everything but the gas tank skid with duplicolor bedliner for easy touch up.

You only got half a skid system compared to the RR setup, so it's actually not that :crazyeyes:, I bet if EVO included the rest of those skids it would most likely cost more than $900. jus saying. The RR setup goes all the way back covers everything and includes a huge gas tank skid so they are or would be both relatively close in price and protection. I do wish EVO would make something like covers everything underneath. :yup:

I bet it would cost more if it covered everything but IMO you would be paying twice because the stock tank skid is more than enough.

till you have to pull it and bang the dents out of it.

That is why I picked up skids. I beat the piss out of the stock gas tank skid and it was pushing up on the tank. I did this with mild wheeling.
