Ironman 4x4 skids

No complaints, they’ve held up well to a lot of abuse.

That said I wouldn’t buy again. I would find something with an oil change hatch, the mount points from the stock skid supports(supports, not the skid itself) aren’t really designed to have a bolts go in and out so often and mine are stripping pretty bad, plus it’s just a pain in the ass to take a heavy steel skid off all the time, plus I’d like more transfer case coverage.

If I were buying now I’d do RCI like the guy above probably, just because I have their sliders and have been very happy with them. I’m sure CBI and others are great too though.

 

Thank you. I was seeing they are currently in sale for 500 but it doesn't have a transfer skid. If you think about the price of a transfer skid a kit like rci isn't really any more expensive

 

is there any aftermarket cat shield that goes with the ironman4x4 skids?

 

You 100% can change your oil without having to drop the skid. You can reach the drain bolt through a cutout hole ( small mess draining on skid ) and the filter from the sides. I’ve done it with minimal mess compared to skids with a full cutout. Going to test if I’m able to do transmission fluid( won’t be able to drop the pan) and front dif this week.

the lack of t case coverage is a bummer tho but for the price it’s hard to beat for the coverage it gives for something that WILL take some hits

 

transmission flush and fill is doable but messy (going to use a funnel with a hose for the drain), dropping the pan is possible but would require the skid to be removed regardless of skid mfg anyway to replace filter. front dif is also doable. not any more mess than normal.
