Does any one brand offer that much more protection than the other to justify the price difference? I was checking out the Mopar skids on jp's site,and comparing them to some of the name brand companies,but really couldnt come up with a final answer. Whats your thoughts and opinions?
There really isn't much overlap.
I'm running the 3 mopar skids + 4XG front guard & belly guard
Those 5 pieces provide the best protection at a reasonable cost IMO.
Add on the S.A. sliders and the 4XG diff guard and you'll be set for pretty much any trail we'd attempt at RC!
If you'd rather have the 4XG sliders let me know.... may be able to work something out.
Thats the answer I was hoping to hear...some the name brands were getting quite pricey! Sounds good about the sliders....1) Lift/tires/wheels
2) Armor under belly
3) Hit the trails!
My short term bucket list...
I'm like this with most stuff, but when I find a brand I like, that has not let me down- I stick with it. This applies to TV's, Vehicles, Computers... and in the case . But every once in a while something comes a long that, is without question, an incredible product. Kinda makes me forget about brand loyalty.
I would swap your 1 and 2 - armor first! Even having a lift, I still bang the bottom (sometimes really hard).Originally Posted by Carn75

As much as I love my lift and tires - If I could do it all over again, I would have done the skid plates before I had my navigation installed - That purchase alone was worth an assortment of skid plates, lol.
I ordered the OEM transfer case and front suspension skid plates earlier this week. I'm just waiting to go pick them up.

If I am correct you have to have a gas tank stid in order to install the tcase skid. Sal will know, hopefully he will poke his head in
