    I will not buy the oem gas tank skid! I would buy the saguaro or the asfir so I won't have to drop the tank! The asfir front skid looks nice too! But I just bought the stock front one for now!

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the ASFIR front suspension and i guess belly skid (because it reaches pretty far down the middle... misses some of the crucial belly components that need protection - Can anyone confirm that? You Jon?

    Just in looking at the pictures, granted the skids look fantastic. They look VERY well designed, but I could clearly see a converter clearly exposed.

    You are 100% correct, the belly skid does NOT cover the catalytic converter, I pointed this out today and they are going to work on fixing that concern if possible. I currently have the ASFIR belly plate on my XK but I will put the 4xG back on if the area cannot be protected.

    Yeah, from what i've seen the Asfir skid does not fully protect the cats. From the other thread it looks like they're going to look into fixing that though....

    Currently, 4XG bellyguard is still the way to go.

    Edit: Ninja Jon beat me to it...
