Any recommendations for a skid plate just to cover engine oil pan and transfer case?

I use the Rough Country skid plates. Decent choice for the money imo. There are better ones out there for a lot more, just depends on how much you want to spend.

I ended up with the Quadratec modular aluminum skids, they cover the jewels nicely. They have taken a beating, and are holding up well. I will send some pictures tonight.

They have a oil drain hole for service, but sometimes the oil will dibble on to the skid plate which is annoying.

The cross members for these are super duty 1/4" steel, strong as hell. But they do take off about 1" of ground clearance.

They are light weight with the body being aluminum which is a plus to me. Priced right too.

I was between this and the Artec skids, but cost was a factor here. These were a 1/4 the cost, not sure benefits would out weight that cost factor.
