Sweet, thanks! :thumb:
EVO ProTek is what I would recommend. Just what you need and nothing more. little to no loss in ground clearance, minimal weight and easy to remove for servicing.

Cool, I'm on their website right now checking them out!
If you do get the evo protek i would have to say get the whole thing! dont just get oil and tranny as you still have the stock crossmember and that will deff help to beef it up a little more!

I love my proteks, and I love their redundancy. Having a tranny skid AND the cross skid basically makes the tranny nearly impossible to contact. For the sub $400 pricetag, I think its great worthwhile insurance. Other companies charge $1000+ for skids, which is insane, but the evo ones are reasonably priced, provide protection, and are cake to install....helps me sleep at night having evo skids in the vulnerable areas. The stock skids are fine for my needs, but I don't wheel hard, but it seems even for someone like Eddie they hold up and do their job, so I see no reason to change em out.

2011 oil skid on a 2013?
not sure if this is the right thread for this, but does anyone know if an oil pan skid plate from a 2011 jku will fit my 2013 jkur 10A? looking at one at close to nothing and wondering if I should jump on it.

NOPE, as they have 2 completely different engines. The 3.6 in your 2013 is way different, as seen in pics below!

I was doing something under the jeep and figured I would take pictures for this thread. One yearish later.

You should spend a good 200 on the Poison Spyder cross member. That thing is beat up.

But then the poison spider will hang lower and I'll hit it. This is doing it jobs so why replace it?

They look exactly like I would expect them to look, I believe the term would be "proven parts"......

Good to see that after all that punishment, the stock bolts are still removable as there is plenty of head left to grab.:thumb:

I guess I was overly concerned about my gas tank skid being crushed but looking at some of these pictures I realize it was not that much to be concerned about. I still didn't like the way mine was looking so last night I took it off beat all the dents out and plated it with 3 /16 steel. I'm very happy with the way it turned out and I'm sure it's not going to crush now
