Aftermarket skid plate reviews

But you could write a great review for each.

 

Need more reviews and pictures

 

I will add some tonight I supposed.

 

Thanks

 

I'm running All-Pro skids on my truck. I have the ifs & trans skid installed and the transfer case & E-locker guard sitting in my garage. I don't have any complaints about any of them. If anything the ifs skid has paid for itself several times over.

If you want to see pics let me know.

 

Thanks. I'll add it tomorrow when I'm on my computer. It's hard to add on the phone.

 

Anyone have LCA skids they would like to comment on?

 

I ordered bamf ones. But I don't have them yet.

 

I have pelfreybuilt skids on my regular cab. Needed to grind down one frame rivet on each side so they'd sit flush but it's no big deal. Pelfreybuilt skid *is* compatible with my front swaybar, even though it's got a toytec relocate on it.

To my mind the main decisions to make are:

1. Do you want an exhaust crossover or not? V6 trucks where the skid doesn't have a modified exhaust tend either need a drop out in the mid skid that's a potential hang up point, or a lower skid. If you're going to the trouble to add underbelly armour, you might as well do it right and take care of this issue, IMO.

2. Location. Buy close to home to save on shipping. Buy *really* close to home for free pickup and maybe help with installation.

3. Diff drop or not. Some of the skids are cut a little lower to fit a diff drop kit, some are not. Relentless is, Pelfrey is not.

4. Coverage around the front alignment tabs, and compatibility with LCA skids if you're running them.

5. 1/4" vs. 3/16" You've gotta be wailin' on your truck awfully hard to need the additional protection and weight of 1/4" skids. Even 3/16" skids are *very* beef.

 

Added. thank you

 

LCA, Gas tank, and rear diff skids added. If I missed a company let me know.

 

Here is a pic, not the best but this skid has taken a beating.



It was getting dark, I will take some better ones with a better camera in better lighting.

 

Hey Nick, I have a full set of Budbuilt. You can check them out at hollister next Saturday. I also want to check your bumpstop and u bolt flip.

 

Sounds good. I think I'm going to go on that north bay wheeling trip this weekend too.

 

I have the tank skid on there but he didn't have a discription. I will add the transfer case skid when I go on the computer.

 

Thanks i will add tomorrow when I'm on the computer. To hard to do on the phone.

I think the 4x Innovations LCA skid is really an ATO product

Icon also has a lca, and it doubles up as a mount for a secondary shock mount.
