Not gonna lie, you had me going for a minute .

Tranny lines completely exposed, not sure if you could even call the crossmember much protection. Oil pan hangs low and open. TC is wide open but sits a little bit closer the body. Exhaust has a bit across the crossmember that’s asking for it to be crushed too.

I feel like they added power to the engine update but did nothing to protect it. Knowing all of this makes me worry just going down a fire road, feeling paranoid lol.

Does anybody have input on which brand? Besides Rock Hard- can’t afford but would be at the top for me.

Priority list of protection on a 3.6 JKU (only with factory gas tank and evap currently)?
