For those skid-plate experts, most critical section that needs armor first??

The great thing about Four Door Jeeps is that we have plenty of options.

FYP
That skid isn't available for us shorties

That is a bummer. I really love the look of the two-doors, but I have far too many children to make it work day to day. The sad thing is as they age (14, 16, 18 and 20) they have competing things that interest them. When they are little you just strap them in and they have to go where you go. On a side note when they start moving out I could think of getting a two-door!

If you have a JL, this is a MUST to protect the drain plug on the bottom of the front differential:

I agree. I just got the RC Front and rear skid plates. I also got the Westin oil Pan skid plate. I think shoring up those three things in the center on top of the factory skid plates given on my JLU sport model I think I’m OK for modern off Roading.
I went ahead and painted them. I was hesitant at first but reading through various forums on this website I heard that when they’re painted a different color it actually helps the spotter when off Roading, guide you on various angles and approaches.

Thanks for posting pics of the RC Differential skids, look to be pretty stout (especially for the price).
How much do they weigh?

Bad news!!!!

I found out the hard way today trying to install the rough country rear DIff skid plate it said it was the M 200 which I saw in the forums. Well I tried for over an hour to try to get the dang thing to get on there. Then knowing I have the Dana 44 rear DIff I went on forums to see what could possibly be the problem and it says the M 200 is for Dana 35. Now it says nothing on any website that it will not fit it other than it won’t fit a Rubicon. So I’m assuming that the M 200 is only for the Dana 35 unless I’m doing something wrong anyone have any idea the front skid plate fit no problem.

You have the M220
Not sure why Dana went to the new numbering system, doesn't make things easier for the most part.

I'm not seeing much in the way of plates for 2 doors. I have a 21 JLR. Is it just me?
I'd like to get something for my oil pan.

recently installed the RC oil and trans armor. easy install and great fitment. priced great.

i am currently on stock rubi suspension and it rubs a little on the DS when disconnected and going over bumps but i can clearance that if lifting it doesnt do it.

MORE has some

Only thing I don't like about them is the protruding bolt heads, wish they were recessed or at least tapered.

I contacted Rough Country to see if they have any 2dr plans for their under-skids so I'm waiting to hear back, I like how they keep the fasteners flush on their 4dr sets.

Is there a link to the RC armor?

No skid stuff for a 2 door

Yeah, I mentioned that in post #39, I contacted RC but have yet to hear back on whether they have plans for 2dr skids.

I have a JLUR and the first thing I protected was that sway bar disconnect. Got rid of the crappy plastic one that it comes with. Then I put on a front diff skid. IMHP those two are mandatory. I've since added a rear diff skid and RC full underbelly with the exception of the fuel tank. I'm not a hard core crawler but I've found these Arizona rocks are damn hard and a little prevention goes a long ways.

I started here, and I'm glad I did. https://metalcloak.com/undercloak-integrated-armor-system-jl-wrangler-4-door-3-6-motor.html

This looks as legit as it gets...you just made me add it to the list!
