Just my .02 on it
all the OE skids do a fine job but I would not piss away the $40 on the tranny skid
I had one built after I saw a brand new OE tranny skid bend like a taco after 1 hit
and it was not even a hard hit

I have offered to have the one I have "put in production" with a firm commitment of 5 or more
I will have it modified with out riggers for even more strength

great thanks! I heard that the new Mopars skids are not as beafy as they used to be. is 1/8 thinner then what they were?

Having never really off roaded my jeep before I think the mopars will do me well for now and they aren't so expensive where if I want to upgrade I would feel that this was wasted money.

Lately I have been getting the itch to take the jeep somewhere, I don't know anyone with a jeep but my buddy is looking to pick up a used renegade and hopefully he gets it soon. Anyone feel like going for a ride, I live in DE.

My OEM front skid(came standard on my '02) was 1/8" thick,the front mounts where 3/16".The other skids have always been 1/8".

cool, I feel better. Looks like alot of people are looking for used skids, I think I just might get them through j parts.

Which ones would be most vital? I was thinking for now gas tank and front, maybe getting a better tranny skid later on. Do you need a skid for the transfer case?

from the factory mine came with the front, gas and transfer case but no tranny skid.

Personnally they all are equally important.
