    Our T-case skid comes with its own frame crossmember! This helps shield the T-case from forward or backwards objects and provides an immediate reinforcement for the skid itself. We have found this skid plate to be a real life saver against hits like this.

    That looks like a gnarly hit though! Glad you still have a t-case!

    I went with RCI steel. IMO one of the best things you can do is an exhaust reroute to give a smooth surface to glide over rocks and gain clearance.
    Been very satisfied with the RCI system!

    I ran the steel RCI setup, glad i did too. Some hard impacts they took, and can bend them back with a press. Plus the weight is down low.

    I like this. I've read so many threads and this comment spoke to me. Quick and easy: Wanna hit stuff? Steel. Wanna protect yourself incase you accidentally do? Aluminum.
