Any issues with over heating due to placing skid near the exhaust loop when using EVO Skids? Rock Hard say their skid does not cover loop due to excessive heat?

glad it doesn't attach to the pan as some skids do.
View attachment 125096i just installed oil pan & tyranny skid, I need to trim the stock transfer skid for the 2 bolts that attach to cross over support. Not a big deal, like the skid As it has a big opening to access the oil drain plug. Really like this skid and glad it doesn't attach to the pan as some skids do.
I have no skids at all. I've never hit my engine pan. Of course I've never had the jeep on anything harder than the JKX.
IMO get the higher clearance skids and learn how to place your tires to not take a hit.
Just what no road said. My preference if I take a hit would rather it be from skid attached to motor mount brackets then direct to the engine oil pan. If you have one that attaches to the oil pan that is your preference, I was going to go with an EVO that mounted to pan but was received through UPS with a corner cracked so I sent it back and decided to go with the Rock Hard, glad I did no complaints with this protection!
You'll be perfectly fine in the front, on the back if running our fuel tank skid plate you may need to trim a hair off the inner back corner to clear the larger differential.I have the Rock Hard engine skid. I plan on upgrading to a PR44 and want to know if anyone is running this combo? Concerned with clearance of the skid and pumpkin. I have the older model skid and oil changes are a pain, other than that I've been happy with it.
I'm installing the Rock hard Aluminum skid system this week.

The easiest solution is for us to ship you an additional shim. PM me your mailing address and I'll get one out the door right away. I'll also include the smaller rock dome protector and bolt for the oil change door.Questions for you Rock Hard. I still get a little contact between my exhaust and the skid. I am already using the supplied spacer, what is the easiest fix? Also, I remember it coming up a while back that with the new design of the door for the drain plug access, that this bolt would be replaced with the ones that are protected, did this ever happen?
Thanks

Now is that the easiest warranty process or what? :beer:
