Skid Row Offroad Engine/Trans Skid
Just installed this skid plate yesterday. Nothing too terribly difficult. I didn't even have to make the exhaust adjustment as mine was 1/4" to 1/2" above the plate. As for quality and ease of install I give it a 10 out of 10, and I've heard nothing but good about the durability on this skid. Here are a few pics.

Looks good, i will start saving up for some skid plates soon, still waiting for the bumper so i can install the winch...
I like that you placed a rag on the jack not to scratch it, but it'll get really f#cked up when you take it off road...
my stock skids are all scratched, dented, rusted....
take it to rousch creeck and test it out dude

I had it out to Rausch Creek last year and thats when I decided a skid was an absolute must. That park is loads of fun. A 6 hour drive for me, but hey road trips are way more fun in a Jeep. I'll probably head out that way this year again depending on if I can get at least a set of 33's or 35's. We'll see.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

It looks like your oil pan was begging for the skid. I have the same skid and the rattle eventually went away when I got some dirt and mud underneath the exhaust. Hasn't failed me yet! The skids are always a last thought when you first get the Jeep (at least for me) until you get those first few dents and scratches!
