Modded jeep stock height/ tire size

This line, under the automatic transmission on a 2012+, is why you my need a skid.

Lol. Talk about poor design choices!

EVO rockskins in place of sliders?

I know this would not be the ideal setup for hardcore wheeling, but until I can afford EVO sliders would the steel EVO rockskins provide a reasonable amount of protection on mellower trails? Love the look of them, extra body protection and the price is not bad at all!

It's definitely not going to give less protection.

They'll protect the face of the tub under the rocker panels, and maybe help potential buckling from hitting something underneath, but the skins and sliders sort of work together as a system to protect the tub and pinch seam. If you can only afford one at a time, the skins are a good first step since they would need to be installed before the sliders anyway.

If you have good sliders do the rockskins even offer any protection from ground items? ie rocks etc. With sliders and rockskins both, what items are the rockskins protecting you from?

Food for thought fellas: if you do go dragging your jeep over big rocks, you're gonna loose paint. This means repainting them occasionally so they don't rust. the sliders are easy enough to mask off. It would greatly add to the difficulty if I had to repaint skins too. Just something to consider.

Rubi rails would be an inexpensive option

Agreed I found a set for my 12 brand new for $50. I also ran them on my 08 rubi in conjunction with the skins and I will say the skins got some use being drug on the rocks with only the rubi rails as they don't hold the tub away from rocks like bigger sliders.

I like the look of rubi rails and skins! Might have to go that route.
