Rubicon Express Transfer Case Skid Plate
Anyone have a picture of their RE Transfer case skid plate installed? Trying to see if it's worth the purchase and covers more than the stock Rubicon plate that's there now. ('15 JKU Rubicon).

With a 3.5" lift on your 4dr, this shouldn't be something that's taking much abuse. I personally think the factory TC skid is fine. If you're going to go with a full skid system I understand the desire to have everything match and mount together, but I don't think it's worth replacing the factory with a random aftermarket skid. I have 3.5" lift on my 4dr and this skid rarely if ever touches anything. Gas skid, followed by tranny skid would be much more of a priority. If you already have those two skids, I'd even go so far as saying money on TC skid would be better spent on a different upgrade.

Sounds like good advice. Thanks.
