Need suggestion, is it better to use a relocation kit $50.00 give or take or better to go with a skid plate $115.00 roughly. Which would be ideal. No real rock crawling in Florida.:idontknow:

I have over 90,000 miles on my Jeep with quite a bit of difficult trails included. I haven't relocated mine and so far so good. (knock on wood) :)

My 2013 Rubicon came with a factory skid for the canister. Granted, it was not awe inspiring, but it was a skid. If you have no real plans for rock crawling, a relocation kit might be a good option for you. WAYALIFE weighed in on this topic a few months ago and has enjoyed similar luck as Moochie without any modifications (if I recall correctly). I don't think there is a wrong answer here.

I wheel with several others at Rausch Creek, PA. It has some rocks that will reach out and bite you if you aren't careful, so I went with the Rock Hard skid plate. It is beefy, but for Florida purposes, might be a little bit of overkill.

Keep us posted on your decision so when others search the forum in the future, they'll know which way you went and why. Best of luck!

I got the Poison spyder Evap skid. Easy to install but had to mod the Dynamax exhaust provided bracket.

The 2013's come with a skid cover, might want to check to see what the dealer charges for one. it wouldn't hurt to have one, while we don't have a lot of rocks to crawl, there are some water holes with all kinds of crap lurking under the surface.
