Default Front skid Question

Are there any manufacturers that make a front skid for a
2009 Sahara that would replace the plastic POS on there now?
Thanks.

sure, there are a few like skid row but honestly, unless you are planning to install a new after market bumper, i think you'd be better off just getting rid of the plastic air dam and call it a day.

There are, I am pretty sure that plastic thing is just for looks, maybe EPA / MPG. What specifically are you looking to protect?

Rip it off and toss it. When you upgrade the bumper get the skid then.

I had a Body Armor skid on my JK for some time and it worked great, then I upgraded the bumper to an all in one.

You are welcome. I installed in on my 2011, 2-door Wrangler a couple of months ago.

Seems to be very heavy duty, and well made. I like it!

Installation was not too bad.
