What was done to your JK this week?

if i put a solid brand full cover in rear & then somthing like this skid up front . Would that work better on a stock rubicon , with out modifying the ss bracket ? * You said the solid brand covers would interfere with a ss bracket in post #43709 . I wasnt aware the solid cover would hit any components up front . Id rather have a solid cover up front and rear, but i dont want to have to modify things just to add that solid cover up front. So either of these type skids would be a alternative . Im looking to add diff covers that wont hit anything front and rear on my stock jk

I have solid diff covers front and rear. The front is fine, but the rear is the one that may rub at full flex depending on your set up. It is easy enough to get a relocation bracket, which you will need with a lift anyway. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=611706"/>

Finished color sanding & buffing the bumper insert after painting several days ago. We are using our Jeep for very mild offroading so I'll be keeping the stock bumpers. Later I'll pull the bumpers off, paint the rear insert & 4 tow hooks as well.

Gotcha! I missed the post before about the skid plate. The solid cover rubs center of the logo at the "L". It might be hard to see in the pic but you can see where it has rubbed the ss bracket. I don't think you would have an issue with the skid plate bc it only covers half of the diff cover. I'm not sure how far the skid plate sticks out from the cover, but the solid covers are much larger than factory. Hope this helps
ps , like that rancho oil pan cover too is that a bolt on or tape , i need that too
i have a tera flex monster track bar up front on mine wonder if it will hit that if i went with solid up front as well i think it might seeing i sometimes hit now i believe with stock cover full turn at angel lol , i really like those solid covers . im not lifted

good advise
Thanks! The cover is RTV'd, pressed on by a floor jack and wire tied in two places to the bolts that attach the oil pan. It's been hit several times and never moved an inch . Honestly, I would go with solid covers regardless. Rubbing them will not hurt anything, especially the cover. Eventually it will ware like mine and won't rub anymore. Just my opinion over the skid plate option.
