Did some minor crawling last weekend for the first time and love it. However did some minor damage as I have rocker "guards" NOT sliders. So they flexed into the body and left me with a few reminders.
Im going to do both but cant afford to buy both at the same time so Im trying to figure out which one to do first the sliders or skid system. I really try to keep the middle of my rig away from the big stuff so maybe the sliders should come first but then again sh!t happens and the middle has some important stuff.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

If you have factory skids they'll last you a good long while, I have abused mine for the last 5+ years and the worse thing that's happened to 'em is some of the bolts are losing their manufacture shape hahahahahaha. Go with the Evo sliders and you won't be disappointed and you can save up for some aftermarket skids if you truly think you need 'em. Theirs my two cents, hope it helps

I'm not sure where you normally wheel, but I've managed to beat the hell out of my evo skids and the factory ones in north jersey, new york, and PA. If you're a pine barrens guy I dunno what to tell you.

to the OP
If your covering up rocker damage, install the skins first. Its a little tricky to install them once the rockers are welded into place. However if you plan on wheeling before then, I would install the rocksliders first.

Thanks everyone, I definitely dont want to go cheap out with this stuff and im pretty set on the EVO stuff. I really like thier products and ive heard nothing but good things about the quality.
The factory skids did their job as I have a pretty good dent in one.
I have been to the pines but since I went to Rausch thats where ill be doing most of my wheeling
