Skid plate questions...help

[rroche1982]

I currently have the modular front bumper, I am trying to eliminate the plastic skid plates.

So far I have added the raptor front skid plate

What other options do I have for the rest of the skid plates?

There are dozens of aftermarket options out there. You can also check the marketplace on here and might find the stock steel skid plates for sale. I run the stock plates and they’ve held up well but I had to add a transmission skid and rear shock mount skid. I still need to add rear lower link skids (they’re getting a little beat up). You can also add skids for the front lower control arms but you’re probably not going to beat on those much unless you’re crawling a lot of rock gardens in my experience.

Most of the aftermarket sets have more complete coverage than factory but the factory set is still a good set once you add a few pieces.

Yep I started searching and got a little overwhelmed. I'll start digging some more. Wanted to let the factory look. I don't do too many crazy off road ventures. I'm probably a mild trail Guy up to this point

I've hooked up the OEM engine skid plate and transfer case skid plate with zero issues to my non-sas big bend. I have yet to find a good solution for the bash plate on the base plastic bumper other than ASFIR.

Yes I was able to get a takeoff factory SAS mod front and rear bumper. Also found a raptor take off front skid plate. It works well.
Would like to get a metal engine skid and also eliminate any other plastic under there

Buy the OEM package when they are 20% off, then sell the front skid. The problem with all the other cheaper options is they either don't come with/or severely up-charge for the gas tank skid.

JCR is a great option imo.

Skid plates are not rocket science, if you can find a local maker get those instead to support a small business.

I would avoid steel unless you are willing to do the maintenance.
