Default Oil pan Skid Plate

Anyone know of a good oil pan skid plate that is priced reasonably? 250 seems excessive at 4wd and Quadratec.

I'm taking it to Colorado this summer and want to take care of a couple little vulnerable spots like that before I go on any rocky trails.

Does that bend change from the automatic JKs to the manual JKs? Maybe the exhaust was made to the dimensions of the manual trans JKs? Just a thought.

I suppose the cost of an engine replacement would seem excessive after you wouldn't belly up for a 250 buck skid plate. You paid over 30K for a Rubicon and you're gonna squabble about a 250 buck skid plate?

There's people...and there's people.

I've got about $1,100 invested in gas tank skid, front and rear diff skids, engine/transmission skid, and rock rails. It's pricey, but you DEFINITELY need to do it if you plan on taking it offroad.
