Future jeep?? Dam post pics please

I have the rock hard oil pan skid and it's great! Pretty easy to install and protects well.

I am happy with the Rock Hard as well, doubt you could go wrong with either choice.

Just installed the EVO Protek skids on my 2014 Rubi and I am very happy. Installation was straightforward and they are extremely stout. No doubt in my mind they will protect when called upon.

I have Artec skid system., as another option. Love it!! [

I just installed the protek oil pan skid and I love it. It is very stout and installation was super easy. I can't wait to install the rest of the system.

Does that hold a lot of mud, rocks, heat? Curious if the exhaust loop is protected? Can't tell from that angle

 

[Kpalas]

It's a recent addition so I can't speak on the Rock and mud question. Are you talking about the loop in the front?

Yeah, just curious. Haven't really seen to much of this set up.

It's fairly new from Artec industries. Made of thick aluminum. Complete coverage of the gas tank, transfer case, oil pan, and tranny. All the bolts are counter sunk, the whole surface is smooth.

looks nice. wonder if those bolts are going to be tough to get out after some heavy use.

didn't see the part about the bolt. so they're out of harms way?

 

[Kpalas]

Ya they are counter sunk, the whole surface is smooth. Might be an issue if there is repeated grinding on a bolt.

Sometimes allen head bolts are hard to get out with even a little nick in them. Looks like an interesting system, what was the weight on it?

 

[Kpalas]

I don't remember the weight , and it's not listed on their website. it's 1/4" inch aluminum.

I have the full rock hard skid system and can't say enough good about it. I looked at all the options when I bought it and I was really interested in the Artec but couldn't justify the additional cost. Same with River Raider. I've beat the skids on some good sized rocks, centered the mess out of it last trip and its scratched but doesn't have a dent.

Thank for all the replies. Decisions... Decisions... Decisions!!!

I also have the evo ProTek system and the installation was straightforward following eddies write up, and they are pretty stout. Plus off-road evolutions customer service it second to none!
