Armor to teeth
Ok I'm sure that this topic has been covered before but I'm looking for a more specific answer. As of right now my Jeep currently has the stock armor which without no surprise to any of you has done it's job as needed. Now what I'm trying to do before the spring hits and while I still have some tax money left over is start looking into adding/replace some armor for wheeling during this summer. I can't say that I'm going to be doing anything real extreme (more of a weekend warrior), but I prefer to have scratches and dents on skids rather then vital parts. So to some up my question... Where would you or where do you wish you started when adding/replacing skids and why.. Keep in mind I'm not looking for a wish list b/c lets be honest we all have one.
Thanks
Mack

well u dont need a evap skid. i would look at diff covers. the full traction cross member is an option also. my stock cross member is waffled.. the stock tcase skid is pretty good imo.. the gas tank one on mine is a lil dented.. there quite pricey..
honestly for u i would think diff covers. then u can service ur diffs also when u change em.
also sliders..

Should probably go with an evap skid. They are fragile and kind get in the way and you have to have one to stay street legal. Also, relocating them voids your warranty.

the cross member works with our Purejeep skid plate line
