    I got every skid from rci, all three main skids, lower Control arm skids, read diff skid. The gas tank skid is nice since the stock is nothing more than a plastic sled you could use to ride a hill in winter

    That's one of the best price you'll find for a fulls set of skids (although, SOS concepts will be less OTD and much more stout). The ARB's are only 3mm, whereas, most steel skids are 5mm or 3/16th" thick. On the positive side, they'll weigh less! You'll need to buy the gas tank skid separately... Use the code ROGUETT3 here and save $39...

    CBI's look pretty good and are being discussed over here. In the install video they have the fuel tank skid, but I can't find it anywhere. Also, they mention that if you have the Y pipe delete, you can request a full-flat skid without the bump-out for the exhaust pipe.

    M.O.R.E.'s look like they protect the alignment tabs, and also work with Icon's A-arm skids as seen .

    There's also RCI, Mobtown, BAMF, Victory, Bud Built...

    has anyone seen Mobtowns gas tank skid? there website has little info and no pictures and no installation instructions. I prefer seeing and understanding what is involved to install before I buy.

    I'm currently looking at RCI. If you've got time to wait they have 10% off coupons fairly frequently.

    I have the old Pelfreybilt gas tank skid. You can kind of see it in the back of the top picture. It's literally just 4 nuts on the main body of the skid that hold it to the tank. Then there's 2 more nuts and bolts that bolt the forward upward angled edge of the skid to a cross member. I can't imagine Mobtowns design being much different as there's not much else to work with down there.

    The rest of my skids are from @fabzonearmor on Instagram. Good stuff, especially if you're in the southern California area.
