Updated with the RCI full aluminum skid package.

in my 2015, SR5P, they still look new. Key is keeping them conditioned and protected against the sun. I have a custom windshield cover and i tinted the front windows

FRIDGE FTW! I have an ARB directly hooked up to an odyssey extreme battery that I swapped for the stock one. It's running all the time and never killed my battery. That would be the best #1 choice! I've got cold beer and ice cream wherever I go
