I can't say I personally know anyone who has it. I want to get it. I think that's the way the stock skids should look. Nice and clean lines and hugs up tight. Looks to be very well constructed.

 

Engine/Trany 1st. You loose all of your engine oil and you are either stuck or blown up. You need to protect in the order of what is the most costly 1st.

 

I voted for Evap Skid to go on first. My main issue is that the evap can be taken out by simple road debris. Skid plating is like everything else on a jeep, it all depends on how you are going to use/abuse it and it depends on availability of funds.

 

I did evap. If you don't relocate, evap is the first.

Everything else is fairly well protected, also the evap, is CHEAP. Can be found for under $150.

 

Have you looked under your rig? Your oil pan and tranny are just hanging out in the open. You can get home without your evap can.

 

i don't know who's feeding you this BS but unless you're replacing the factory transmission cross member with one that sits higher and relocating your exhaust cross over up 1.5" and replacing your gas tank with one that is physically shorter, there is no way you are going to gain 1.5" of additional clearance.

 

your oil pan is the only thing not protected from the factory. and in all honesty, it is the only thing you should want to armor up. in spite of what some will try to suggest, the factory skids do their job just fine and i have yet to see or hear of a single person have one fail on them yet. just because they get beat up and scratched doesn't mean they aren't doing their job. in other words, save your money and once your factory skids get too beat up, think about replacing them at that time. after almost 4 years of pounding on my factory skids, they are still holding up just fine.

 

Absolutely, are there any aftermarket steel flares with a bracing/frame mount? I'm not trying to be a dick, I would buy a set with framework behind them.

 

I did the poison spider evap skid first, great quality and easy install. If you don't relocate I would recommend it. However... I wish I had just relocated now. Why add any weight if it's not needed.

Just my 2 cents.

 

I've only added two skids to the factory skids ... Evap and E-Disco ...
