Default Skid Plates

Hey,

I am interested in getting some skid plates for my jeep and was wondering who makes the best ones, what are the most essential components that I need to get cover up first?
Thanks for any advise.
Cheers

The evaporative cannister and the steering stabilizer are in vulnerable positions. Neither are "critical," however. But, I did relocate both of them using the Woods products (4xfix). Next for me was differential covers (Riddlers) and a cover for the oil pan (Rancho). All of that will give you about $500 worth of protection money spent. That's not exactly the answer to your question (skid plates), but I bring it up because if you haven't done these, I really think your money is better spent here than on skid plates.

Edit: I see you have diffy covers already.

Yeah I just got my riddlers diff covers on about a week ago and when I washed my jeep for the first time after they were installed I noticed that they looked a little rusted. Did you run into this problem with your or did you just paint them before they were installed

The Riddler covers come unpainted and must be painted to avoid the rust.
