Default Opinion Rancho oil pan skid plate

I am looking to put the Rancho oil pan skid plate on my 2012 JKU. In Louisiana we don't do alot of Rock crawling so I am not looking to add a whole lot of armor. Has any body used the Rancho oil pan skid and how does the adhesive hold up? Thanks

I've heard it's on for the life of the pan, removal is not really possible, so it should stay on there fine.

Had mine on for 2 yrs or so. Does its job perfectly. Won't budge and adds much needed useful protection to the vulnerable oil pan.

I was trying to find the installation instructions for the Rancho 2012 oil skid plate, but could not find them. The picture looks like it's only bolted onto the oil pan in two places and appears that you don't use glue (I'm assuming this by looking at the picture) anyone have any experience with this?

My Rancho oil skid is for 2008 version, with no bolts. STILL, it's not going anywhere with just the adhesive. Get it.....the peace of mind is worth the cost BY FAR.
