    looking for skid plate recommendations

    Well I am planning a wheeling trip out to Colorado this Summer and want to get some skid plates to protect the oil pan and transmission. I have been looking at M.O.R.E., Evo Protek and E autogrills of of Ebay. I would like to get River Raider or something along that lines, but that isn't in the budget. What are you running and the pros and cons of each. I do intend to put on a Rancho/Dynomax crossover exhaust extension to prevent my drive shaft from rubbing on the exhaust.

    She said she still has it and is pulling it out of storage. I don't think she wants a lot for it. I'll let you know.

    do you want to go long arm in the future? it matters for belly protection

    I don't think so, at most I will upgrade to RK 2.5" and I don't think long arm is necessary at that length. Is there any benefit to going with a long arm kit? And if so what belly protection is compatible?

    i did but their documentation says it won't work with stock gas tank. after looking at that i have thought about buying a sheet of 3/16 aluminium and making my own belly pan. has to be plenty of usuable bolt holes.
