Default Which skid plates do you all recommend

I tried doing a search and didnt see anything specific on which skid plates are recommended.

I have a 2007 Rubicon and plan on adding a 2" lift and 33" or 34" tires and doing some Colorado Jeep trails. Lots of rocks and boulders here. What do you folks suggest I protect and whats the best, and most economical way to go.

Thanks

I am very new to all of this, so I really appreciate all of the help this forum offers!

Are there particular ones I should get, not only brand of them, but also specific ones. Like say, the radiator, or the trans...etc

Again, new guy here

The first thing you need to protect is the oil pan. I learned that after my first time out. I put the Skid Row oil pan skid on and it has worked for a few years now. I would recommend it! But definitely think about that being one of the first to protect.

Yup, I'm going to get the Skid Row or MORE engine/tranny pan when I get the funds.

I think the general consensus is an oil pan skid and an evap skid/relocation kit.

That is number two in line -- At least it was for you.
