Three part quesion here:
Which oil pan skid you guys are running?
How did the install go for you?
If you change your own oil, have you encountered any issues with it on?

I have the Rock Hard. I did not have any problems with the install. No problems changing oil, the only thing different I did was spray some brake cleaner so that there was not any oily residue anywhere.

The oil change isnt too bad, just a little messier.

Rock Hard
After installing my RockHard oil/trans skid plate on a lift I had a pretty good vibration in the Jeep at speeds over 20mph. I then backed off all the bolts and retorqued on the ground and that really helped. FYI. I really like the plate and oil changing is very easy.

Thanks guys; sounds like RockHard is the one to run. My issue though is I'm not necessarily looking to spend roughly $400 right now as I need to pay off some of the mods I recently added. Can you recommend any other bolt on, oil pan skids that are modestly priced but built well?

I installed the River Raider oil pan / transmission skid plates
The install was very easy.
I do not change my own oil but I did take the access plate off and put a wrench on the oil drain plug and it appears that it would not be difficult to change the oil.
