I don't understand buying something like this, having to modify to fit instead of buying something a few bucks extra that bolts right in, with the right hardware and have everything light up perfect. JUST ME?

$110.00 vs $400.00 is a little more than a few extra bucks

Exactly, more than a few bucks and the only thing I needed to do was pick up a extra bolt. Hard to complain about that.

I have seen skids for much less than 400 and they fit fine.

I just wanted to add that I love my E-auto front bumper. I'd buy from them again without question. It's nice to pay a reasonable price for a piece of metal. This becomes especially absurd with sliders. This isn't a question of $100 v. $150 to buy American. It becomes $100 v. $500+...

Yes, you can install it without relocating the canister.

This situation only applies to my situation. The engine skid will install over my transfer case skid. I can't modify my exhaust with my transfer case skid on. I need to finish my exhaust and canister mod then I can install my transfer case skid and then finally I can install my engine skid.

Bottom line don't judge unless you have tried them if so than state the problems you have had

the skid plate looks awesome I will be buying one of these this year cant beat the price fit and quality as a whole in my opinion
please post pics of them mounted when you get them on
