Rusty's Skids

Well, last weekend I ripped a skid plate clean off and it's pretty much a goner. So I was looking for new skid and saw the Rusty tranny/engine one for a decent price. Anyone have any experience with these things? Quality or Not?

How did you rip it off? What skid did you have?

I have the mopar ones that came w/ the Renny. I'm not sure how it ripped off but I think it might have been when I got airborne at the end of my run. I wish i had pics of it because the people I headed out with said it was amazing. Got my ride nice and banged up on the front bumber

For the hard wheeler, dont get it. Mine is already bending and I'm looking into the SuperSkid.

I've got all three of Rusty's skids, and haven't had a problem yet. The engine/tranny skid got bent very little when I high centered myself completely in two huge ruts. But it's still there, solid as ever. I trust. I don't do a lot of rocks, but I trust 'em on there, too.

BTW The Superskid by All-J Products is definitely superior skid in means of strength. If you do a lot of rocky offroading, get it at:

Mine is all bent up and we welded cross members to reinforce it. It still gets bent.

i would look for a different skid. even if you got the right one and on time, it hangs needlessly low
