I'll never understand why skids and tow recovery points aren't standard equipment on all Jeeps.

Companies spend a lot of time trying to chop just a few cents off components. Eliminating skids as standard items doesnt hurt sales, saves a few hundred per unit, and lets them make more $$$ for "add ons". From a business standpoint it makes complete sense.
Yeah I understand the financial aspect....just think that as a company with a long history of offroading you think they would set that aside.

Decided to be lazy and farm out the lift install, appointment set next Friday at 8am. I'll be going from there to get an alignment and the tires installed.
