Your memory is fucked for sure then or, like I said you are just trying to start shit. Moby has never ever ran that trash. Coopers, Nittos and Toyos is pretty much it. Now if youâre referring to the 2019 JL/JTX where skyjacker was slipping and sliding all over like itâs trying to run on a pile of frozen puppy shit then yes, that particular jeep was on milestars. Eddie has never ran that garbage on any of his rigs.My memory was that Moby ran Milestar on a JK Experience run back east where the rocks are wet, slippery, and mossy. There was a lot of "skidding" going on compared to the other Jeeps running the tires Eddy normally uses so he concluded that they were poor for that application. I am getting old so I could be wrong but that is what I remember.
Seriously? Lol. Now all the 'cool' kids will be showing off even bigger pieces of shit.Milestar just barely announced theyâd be offering a 42â
Fuck! I know it. Hopefully the backorder crisis will hit them too so that next years EJS isnât a constant rave of âwatch how amazing these new 42â milestars are in a place where an ice-cube can find tractionâSeriously? Lol. Now all the 'cool' kids will be showing off even bigger pieces of shit.
Ok, my memory is fading and only partially correct. Moby's history of purity is preserved.Your memory is fucked for sure then or, like I said you are just trying to start shit.

And considering Milestar just barely announced theyâd be offering a 42â only a few weeks ago further indicates your memory âisnât what it used to beâ
Iâm going with the âyouâre just trying to start shitâ door in which case, walk back through it and donât let it hit you on the way out.
Yup, couldn't agree more. We did run an oil pan skid on JET but more because of the trans cooler lines than anything. In hindsight, I kind of think it was totally unnecessary. To this day, Moby still doesn't have aftermarket skids nor does our Gladiator or Pippi. Granted, they're all just mall crawlers.Never ran skids I know a lot do but for me itâs just one more way to trap heat and add weight .
Hey those curbs can be a real bitchYup, couldn't agree more. We did run an oil pan skid on JET but more because of the trans cooler lines than anything.

Quick questionâŚ. Would you do the Rock Slide Engineering gen 3 steps again?Next Venture Motorsports Aluminum with UHMW.
Yea was kinda thinking of getting just an oil pan skid cause Iâm keeping lift height low and itâs an auto. Iâm sure I would be fine tho.Yup, couldn't agree more.

I have the EVO protek engine/trans skid and have tagged it a few times, when I removed it it do my long arm suspension it had to be straightened before putting it back in. I think I did most of the damage to it when I only had 2" of lift.Wanted to revive this thread. I can say I have not crawled under my wife's JL to see what if anything is vulnerable. I was looking into skid plates as I did install the EVO Protek oil and trans skid on my JK. They are as scratch free and the day I installed them...haha. Granted I wouldn't say I wheel hard. Was just wondering if anything is recommended for the JL. I was looking at installing the EVO Protek engine and trans skid but wasn't sure. Is the FAD vulnerable and in need of protection? I was most likely going to do a glide plate on the front diff too. Not going full belly skid or anything crazy. Just looking to protect anything that's susceptible to damage. Thanks for the help
Thanks for the input. Yeah I hear you on the control arm and shock mounts. My rears on my JK are all bent and is what's kept me from installing the rockstars I've had sitting in my garage for a few years. It's going to be a PIA getting them straight before I can get them on.I have the EVO protek engine/trans skid and have tagged it a few times, when I removed it it do my long arm suspension it had to be straightened before putting it back in.

I've managed to survive without diff skids. The front diff seems to be actually tougher than the rear, the bottom of it is cast a lot heavier. I've never had any issues with the drain plug getting damaged but I do keep an eye on it. The rear diff is cast with a ridge or lip on the bottom that the cover mounts to & seems like a weak point but It has not broken yet.
If I had it to do over I would probably have done some of the skids that go on the lower control arm & shock mounts in the rear. Mine were pretty chewed up by the time I cut them off to switch to coilovers.
