I put the Evap skid plate on first thing, and am now getting ready to either put on an oil pan skid or get the new oil pan that Benchmark offers. I only have a 2.5 lift, and do not do any boulder crawling, so this should work for me. Everyone has their personal preferences. As my wife always says, it makes her wonder why they sell a "Rubicon" that is trail worthy without the necessary armor to protect it. I have to agree.

with the exeception of your oil pan and, i supposed evap canister (which really isn't that big of a deal), your entire jeep already comes with good skid plates that work just fine. again, with the exception of my oil pan, i run stock skids on both my JK's and, if you've seen any of our photos or videos, you know what kind of trails i play on. trust me, save your money and abuse what you have now and, if they ever need to be replaced in the future, take care of it at that time.
