LOL!! you call that beat? you should see the underside of my jeep after 5 years and wheeling 2-3 time a month out here in the west coast. in spite of it all, i'm still running factory skid plates and cross member and, they're still doing their job just fine. but hey, it's good to know someone is fueling the economy

thanks, so glad to hear you like our videos. as far as terrain goes though, moab is easy on the underside. trails like the rubicon, fordyce, dusy, holycross, carnage canyon or any of the hammer trails will really do a number on your belly. having said that, my factory skids have always done their job. sure, they don't "look" too pretty anymore but, that don't mean they ain't working and for me, i don't like spending money on things that i don't have to. but, that's just me

Well I took my jeep in to get a oil change ( my buddy shop) which he's had multiple jeeps said he was worried about my Trans, ya I might be a little nervous about messing something up... Then again this is my first jeep... If I break I fix it.. I feel better knowing I have some sturdy metal on the belly...
