To each their own but my build is light and efficient. With only mods Ive gone out on trips/trails to realize I need. You may have realized that you need them but trying to convince others that they cant drive almost every track out there without them is just bad advice.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. OP asked for opinions. As I said it depends on terrain.
You say factory skids are just fine on "almost every track out there." Sorry, totally disagree. It doesn't rain here often but when it does we get a lot of flash flooding, since the water doesn't permeate the soil. Even easy trails can get washed out and have plenty of nasty areas. It's just good insurance to have real armor even if you do your best to avoid the nasty spots. But hey, if oem works for you that's great.
