M.O.R.E. Skid plates

[sc_rhino]

That's why I bought the more skid thinking I needed to protect the exhaust(which I didn't install, only did evo oil skid) but after seeing the previous pics it appears the cross member takes most of the hit. I'm currently having a shop install the evo dd and poison spyder cross member.

I would look at the protek skids. I just installed mine and they are sturdy as hell! The factory skids are plenty strong. You should only need to protect you tranny pan and oil pan.

I've run one in the past and it worked great.

I just looked at the 6208 and it looked to me like it only has 2 bolts holding it on. The Protek looks like a safer way to go, Ed.

I'm glad I have this forum at my disposal. I was going to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need.

A teeny tiny bit of it is showing on the gate keeper to Carnage Canyon in CO.

One of the best days on the trails, despite us blowing up the front axle. :icon_crazy:
Cindy DOMINATED that trail.

Nice shot! You can clearly see it thanks to it being RED :crazyeyes:
Super fun day

Here's a clean install shot of what it looks like as well as a link to the write-up I did for it:

I ran the Rancho oil pan skid for over a year! Great skid and easy install. I used eddies write up.

I had your oil pan skid and loved ot! Easy install indeed. I only switched it out so I could do the full protek system. If I wasn't going to I would still be running it for sure.

I'm confused. If you have a "standard", do you mean this as in you have a "manual" transmission? If so, what "tranny pan" are you referring to?

Yes my bad i have a manual and there is nothing under the front of my jku not my tranny pan sorry i was at the hospital friend was having a baby. i have no protection for my oil pan transmission case or anything else there but i think i got the answer plus alot more info from this thread i appreciate it

Okay, cool. Just in case, all you really need is protection for your oil pan as it comes from the factory unprotected. Your manual transmission needs no protection and your transfer case already has a skid that will serve you well.

you would honestly suggest no skid plates?

No I did not say that I said keep the stock, don't waste your time with the heavy aftermarket ones. I am running 4.5" lift with an aftermarket front shaft and stock skids.
