Who makes a good oil pan skid plate for the 3.6? I have looked some and can only find Rancho, it's bright red..

i have run both rancho and now evo on my 3.8. both are VERY solid. the only reason i got rid of my rancho is becuase i wanted the rull evo protek system, otherwise i would still be running it.

I was looking into this as well, I think the Rancho is only for use in 3.8L

Protek Oil Pan system I think was only for sale individually for the 3.8L as well - last I saw. But I could be very wrong. I ultimately decided on the EVO Protek for my jeep (crossmember, Oil Pan and connecting skid)

This is probably the most economic and effective kit I can find and know everyone who runs it is delighted with the performance of this lightweight, heavy duty system.

EDIT

I looked on Evo website 1st and could not find an oil pan skid plate of any kind. Did I miss something?

I'll be honest, I originally bought just the Evo Pro-Tek Oil Pan Skid, only to turn around and buy the trans skid and cross-member skid to complete the Pro-Tek system. I was definitely glad I did too, as the trans and cross-member skid had a few marks on them, where as the oil pan skid was clean. It's only a little bit more to get the full system and I wished I had bought it as a system from the get go.

Yep ours cover the
3.8 P/N RS6208
3.6 P/N RS6236

If Rancho Red is too much, may I suggest Soul Crushing Black. :brows:
Honestly it is tough to see the red under there...

Just installed the EVO oil pan skid last week. Nice unit, plan on getting entire skid system but had to buy in pieces due to available funding in the ol wallet. It was however an anniversary gift from the wife! She let me buy it anyways, LOL.

I have the EVO Protek skid system on my 2012 JK 2 door auto. Im a big fan of EVO as I know first hand that EVO stands behind their products and they are very well made. :rock:
