Default Kilby Enterprises Belly skid, gas tank skid, and new exhuast

Finally decided to show everybody my exciting new armor I installed on my JK. Brad Kilby and the boys at Kilby Enterprises were nice enough to hook me up with one of their prototype gas tank skids at a extremely reasonable price. After some sanding, priming, and painting it turned out super sexy. Also pictured is my oil pan/tranny skid and my new t-case skid from Kilby. I think it all goes together very well I also included a couple pics of my new exhuast as well, courtesy of Flow Master and Mike and co. at Exhuast works here in Tucson.

how do you like the Hushpower muffler? and do you have any sound clips of it? I was thinking of trying the same thing, but I can't find anyone that has a sound clip of one. Skids look good. Didn't the kilby engine skid have wings that bolt to the side of it to protect the cats though?

You can add wings to it, but I'm installing the RE Long Arm on my JK and the side skids would be in the way. The exhuast is a little throaty but not as bad as the Banks I had installed previously. I did it because I like the added clearance in the rear and it also opens the door for a certain off-road evolution product

Nice skids. Any install issues? How's the clearance around the exhaust cross pipe?

I cross pipe is extremely well protect up until it begins to angle up at each side. That's what the side skids that can be purchased are for.

Most of them were but some of them were what was holding my OE t-case skid and I reused them for now. I'm not too sure why Kilby didn't opt for recessed all around, but the skids work just fine.
