So I bought the Hard Rock, Oil pan/Tranny/Cat skid when my Jeep was 2 months old.. because I wanted to have something protecting my Oil Pan... which I still beleive should be protected. I only installed the HR skid thinking I liked the one big skid plate coverage. So far it has been a good purchase for the most part, it has done it's job so far, but with the possiblility of the tranny oil over heating causing the fires (IMO) and could help in over heating, causing the oil light to come on..etc, (this has happened one time So far but I beleive I know how to prevent this now by using 4LO where I should have.. etc., so I count that has partly my fault)

any how my question is this, I'm thinking of taking the Hard Rock skid off and reinstalling the OEM Tranny skid and getting a Oil Pan Skid.. which Oil Pan skid is best. I really beleive I would need one if I removed the HR Skid.
I also have a Evap skid.

any goood OIL PAN skids..

One more.. has anyone covered the front of the Rear Diff? I came down hard on my front Diff - Riddler held up great- and with some reverse wheeling, I'm wondering if the front rear diff is subjected to damage.. any thoughts from the experts on that.

thanks


PS; my other OEM skids are holding up great,,, nice dents in them...

 

i have run the rancho oil pan skid, the evo skid and benchmark HD replacment pan and all have done their job great. benchmark has terrible customer service and so i would steer clear of them. so, i would either get the rancho or evo skid as that's all that you will need.

 

I tend to agree.

 

+1 for rancho oil pan skid, light weight and easy to install

 

I use the Rancho skid as well, and the RK tranny pan

 

Rancho, easy install, fairly priced! The guys at Rancho are all pretty damn cool too, just saying

 

I am looking for the rancho oil pan skid for my 2012 jku. Any suggestions on where to get it? I have looked at a few websites and it seems like they all stop at 2011.

 

EVO MFG makes what i think is the best oil pan skid for the 2012

 

Totally true. Damn cool.

At this time,we have not made a skid for the 2012.

The EVO one is a very nice piece and at a great price point.

 

I got the evo protek system. I must say the oilpan skid is amazing
