I'm looking into some under carriage protection and like everything else, there is an arseload of options. I've heard the stock skids handle pretty well, but what other protection is a must have but won't break the bank? Recommendations?

Thanks!

 

like all JK's, the 2012's don't come with an oil pan skid and i would get one of those. if you have an automatic, there is a transmission line that is very exposed and of course, the sump pan itself is exposed as well. needless to say, i would recommend that you protect them as well. evo mfg makes a great system to take care of them and that's what i would recommend. everything else is fine with the factory skids and i wouldn't waste your money replacing them. trust me, i've been beating mine up for over 5 years now and they still do the job just fine.

Thanks for the help. I should've stated this in the original post, but its a manual 6sp. I assume this still holds true for the manuals?

 

on a manual, i would just armor up the oil pan. everything else is good to go.
