Default Skids for 2012

I have been beating up the underside of my 2012 Rubi at Rausch and need to get some skids. I see the EVO skids available with pictures online, but also see that River Raider has some available. Anyone with either set (focused on oil pan, transmission and exhaust bugle) have feedback?

I went with one of these:


Engine / tranny skidplate (PJ1086) $350 from purejeep.com.

without a doubt, the EVO skids are the best i've seen and provide the highest clearnace. they are what we will be installing on our new 2012.

My wife is picking up the aluminum Engine and Tranny set from Kenny at R/R next week for our 2012. I'll install Friday before Saturday's inaugural run at R/C with our 2012 Rubi. I was hoping to get a set last Friday but, they are flying off the shelves according to him!

I (and apparently a bunch of other people) am damn paranoid about that Oil Pan.

I looked at his last weekend at the Q-tec open house and it fits the 3.6 good. The big bonus I can see for the EVO is it protects the Bugle, which the R/R doesn't. I'll have pics up Friday night (hopefully) and a trail report from the Creek Sat night!
