Default Skid plates ?

I'm looking for some member suggestions on skid plates for my new Wrangler X. Specifically the oil pan and the Evap canister. I'm thinking it'd be easier to plate the cannister rather than re-locate it. I've seen the RockHard oilpan plate and it looks great but a bit on the expensive side. I've seen one Evap plate but can not find it again. Anyone have any 1st hand experience and any other suggestions on other areas that will need to be protected? Thanx. I will be using a Shrok Stubbie winch bumper and rockrails. (when they get here)

My SkidRow skid plate for the engine and trans works AWSOME and takes all sorts of abuse and use.

Relocate the evap can.

I have the Rockhard oil/trans skid and love it. I also vote for using the Woods kit to relocate the Evap. It really gets it up and out of the way. The install is fairly simple too, alot easier then you might think. It also helps that Wood's directions are clear and easy to follow.

Oh and here is the Rockhard evap skid in case you decide to go that route.

Brett Woods is a site sponsor and is currently making improved products for the JK. He has a nice evap relocation kit.

The Skid-Row and Rock Hard options look great, convenience vs cost on the evap is a personal preference, no wrong answer....

I'm waiting for Shrock's Skids.
