If you managed to break a t-case in the middle of a desert without doing any tough obstacles you are obviously doing something very wrong. BTW my buddy paid $100 for his new t-case.

Shit happens, simple as that. My back yard is Death Valley and the Mojave desert. Wheeling here is an exercise in surviving the shit that does happen and preparedness is a thing. That road you came in on a week ago could be gone today, washed out from some flash flood or what have you. Skids are cheap insurance and I've always gone with aluminum because I'm not dragging my truck over rocks on purpose but if I have/need to, then I won't sweat it.
