Hey Guys!!! Skid10?

To Skid or Not to Skid?

Absolutely!
Skid plates are a simple necessity when it comes to overlanding and off-roading. The products we normally think about are the most popular such as rock sliders. However, riding on rocky trails, you have the potential to damage vital components, such as your lower control arms, shocks, gas tanks and similar undercarriage items. And nobody wants a significant unexpected expense. ?

Aluminum or Steel? That’s the question.

Aluminum
: Aluminum and Steel Skid Plates technically do the same job, protect your vehicle from damaging the under carriage. While Aluminum is the lighter option, it depends which trails you are running. If your off roading on simple trails and just need it as a precaution, Aluminum is the way to go.

Steel: While Steel Skid plates are heavier, they endure harsher environments, slide on rocks easier, and less expensive compared to Aluminum. If you’re not worried about added weight, and are looking for a durable long-lasting option, a steel skid plate is the way to go.

Where can I purchase?

So the choice is yours! Are you going to be trail riding near the river, or jumping obstacles in Moabi?

Never skimp on armor or protection... prevention is less expensive than protection...
I have proof.

That was from before I had sliders. (I know this thread is about skids, but the same principle applies.)
