    Which skidplate does everyone recommend? The pro one is overpriced. $550 Canadian+tax.
    RCI?
    BPF?

    How thick are your skids? I beat the piss out of my 3/16th reinforced skids and they take it all day

    If you spend time on rocks, go 3/16" steel because it slides better. If you don't, get 1/4" aluminum because it doesn't rust and it's just as good at stopping most stuff with only 60% of the weight penalty. I'd suggest finding them somewhere within driving distance because shipping 70lbs of steel skidplate is rarely cheap.

    I went with RCI. No particular reason. I'm happy with it.
