Installed the engine skid over 2,000 miles ago and many hard offroading trips. It is definitely worth its weight to protect the engine. It has many scars as expected.
What i do not like about this skid or any engine skid that does not have a cross member is that the frame in fact tweaks bc of this missing crossmember. So much so that the EVO skid will hit the exhaust pipe and eventually cause a leaking exhaust header gasket due to the force.
I just replaced back to the stock cross member and wow the Jeep is tight again.
Now i plan to go with the quadratec skids as they come with a cross member for a reasonable $.
Wanted to let you all know my experience.
