Default Rock Hard skids vs. River Raider skids

What's everyone running out there? Who's skids do you think are superior? I want as much protection I can get especially in my catalytic convertor area.

MAX PROTECTION- WHO WINS?

Same here, I run the the RH and have given them a bit of abuse. I can also say that Chris has done the same thing The Cats are completly covered so no problem there either.

I know its not on your list but I run Trecks Offroad full belly. They were less expensive, the fit and protection is just as good as any other.

Forgot to mention, I bash the sh*t out of them and they hold up great.

The treks looks like it covers more! I have the MBRP ddr muffler about right under the back passenger seat...do you think it would cover that?

It also seems like the Cats are pretty vulnerable with the Trek but i love how it covers everything else.

I have the banks muffler relocated to the evap canister location and it doesn't cover it. Nothing for the cats either but you'd really have to try to hit those. I wheel pretty hard and have never hit either.

I have the Rockhard oil pan, trans and cat conv skid and they worked perfect on my last rock crawl. Just wish I had replaced the Sahara steps before

A buddy of mine picked up the River Raider full skid system at the PA show a couple of weeks ago....nice! We should be installing them this week and I can post some pics....he had an inmate do some custom paint on them and they look bad ass! Of course, first trail ride these will be scratched up, but I just wanted to let you all know ahead of time!
