So my factory skids are really taking a beating, they're a little more concave than i'm comfortable with and I need something heavier duty to replace them. I saw EVO came out with some sweet ProTek skids for the 2012 but i drive a 2008 4dr.

any recommendations on a few designs to start looking at?

 

Subscribed! I like to upgrade mine eventually as well. I haven't yet really looked into this.

 

Rock Hard 4x4 is what I would suggest . Seen a few done look great very functional for a full body skid

 

they seem to make a solid product!

looking under my Jeep a bit more, it appears the factory transfer case skid and tranny/cc skid is definitely thicker (3/16"?) than the factory gas tank skid. initially, the gas tank skid is the first one i'm looking to replace and possibly the stock tranny skid just because it doesn't provide that much coverage. i like how the Rock Hard tranny skid covers the cc and oil pan as well.

now what to do about my bent cross member ...

 

Rock hard and skid row 4x4 are good. Full traction has a replacement crossmember..

 

River Raider has nice complete skid replacement package. Its the one I was looking at getting.

 

x2 on River Raider

 

I have Rock Hard skids and that have held up really well. EVO is coming out with ProTek skids for 07-11 JKs soon from what I understand. Maybe the EVO guys can chime in and give us an estimated release date.

 

TNT Customs makes some really nice skids!!!

 

this skid is made of 3/16". made it in a few hours. stout!
