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?

Off Road Evolution JK 07-11, Full Protek Skid System - Manual
(PROTEK-MANUAL-KIT)

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

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.

, 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.
