Default armor question =]

hey guys so i am getting ready to do a trail ride here soon, i was wondering what armor i should get?

i have a 09 rubi 2 door, and all the oem skid plates it came with work great so far.
i have evap skid - posion spider, engine and trans skid - rugged ridge, and control arm skids front and rear - rugged ridge and rock sliders - evo.



my question is, do i need anything els????? what are some common spots that are prone to rock damage?

I dont see a lift on your list of mods. A small lift and you might not use the skids you got as much.
oops I see daystar level kit now. You could still go a bit higher.

Oh, good call Jhouse93, diff covers are a must! (missed that)


You'll laugh when you swap them at how pathetic the stock ones are.

to cover your vitals, diff guards, oil pan armor, and evap skids are a great start. I use WP diff guards, Rancho pan armor, and Poison Spyder's evap skid/reloc.
