Default Trek's Modular Belly Pan System (Full Skids!)

I've been researching a complete set of Skid Plates for the underside of my JK. I was looking into the Rock Hard ones, but yesterday I came across Trek's (T & T Customs) Modular Belly Pan System.

It includes the engine skid plate, transfer case skid plate, gas tank skid plate and a transmission skid plate.

They look amazing!! Has anyone used these? How well do they hold up? Any issues??

From their images, it looks like they turned a JK into a tank! This thing should help the JK slide over just about anything!!

Yep, I too noticed that. BUT there are a lot of relocation kits out there or evap skid plates. Maybe they just figured that either people have moved them or already protected them?

Also, notice what runs down that same side - the exhaust. Another plate there would add a couple hundred dollars to the kit and would probably get really hot!

Heat was one of my big concerns with the full system. It looks like this system would trap allot of heat. I'd probably own the Trek's system, but they don't make it for the 2 doors.

Looks good. The full set seems pricey. But you can't pay enough for the comfort of protection.

That is a really good question! I just tried calling them to ask (and to see what shipping is), but there was no answer.

Maybe I'll try again later.
