What skids do you run?

I designed and made my own aluminum skids (Engine, trans, and transfer). These work with the marlin crawler LCA gusset kit, and have added mud-release slots in them for those sticky situations. Plus all combined they only weigh 48lb's

ARB...and I'm not particularly happy with them.

 

[OzarkLander]

I also have the Arb set. The only complaint I have is the last skid with that bump down to clear the exhaust seems to hit almost everything. In the future I do plan on re routing the exhaust and some how flattening out that skid.

That's my main complaint as well. I was thinking about just dropping the last skid. I'd be interested in what your eventual plan is.

Full RCI aluminum with exhaust re-route.

RCI aluminum. They are good, but definitely need the exhaust reroute. I hit it and now it rumbles.

Skid plates do add a peace of security….I added a gas tank skid, transmission skid, tranfer case skid, a rear diff skid plate from RCI, lower control arm skid plates from R4T…waiting for my new order from Supreme suspension trailer hitch skid plate with shackle holder…
Next a skid plate for my bank account…it is taking a beating…lol.
Aloha

I just learn skid plates with air holes / slots.. perform better on mud and drain water …NO suctions..
Research this further…

I have full aluminum skids from Relentless Fabrication. Love em.

 

[dustytaco]

TRD engine skid, RCI tranny, RCI transfer case, R4T LCA skids. wanting to get the RCI rear diff skid and a gas tank skid as well. just gotta save up.

Stock. They're pretty flimsy though. A nice set of aluminum skids is definitely high on the wish list. I feel like the next hit is going to be a rough one.

Anyone running BAMF Rear Dif Skid Plates? Only lose 5/16" of clearance according to the website. I think I like them better than RCI. About to pull the trigger to have them in time for Cruise Moab.
