[teotwaki]

Possibly the new CBI skid plate set but not shown on their web site

Credit for the find goes to blksubykid

Update - 8/2/19 - Some pix from this thread

[blksubykid]

Budbuilt also makes skids

 

[comtn4x4]

Hefty makes skids too. Should differential, a-arm, shock mount and ABS skids be listed too?

Edit: I stand corrected Hefty no longer makes skids for the 5th gen

I may have missed them but at their site I did not see any 5th Gen offerings

You are correct, I edited my original response. I assumed that since I had them they must still make them lol

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting on this!
Vacillating between RCI set and CBI.

Greenlane Offroad makes a front skid plate in aluminum. Personally prefer Al to Steel because it doesn't rust, but I'm sure it's not as durable as steel if you're sliding around on rocks on a regular basis.

New CBI looks beef!

Anyone have more photos of the CBI gas skid?

I want to pick up a gas skid. I can see a lot on the forums around CBI and some on C4, but nothing on CBI. It appears to have really good coverage from the one shot in this thread, but the CBI website is a single photo from the bottom, and it's hard to tell how it is mounted and how well it will guard the front of the tank from that one SwellRunner shot.

 

[RuskiE39]

No skid plate for the rear diff?

Was tempted to get the LFD, but their skid plate webpages are a total mess with erroneous pictures, no stated weight or clear specs ....

nope.

Yea I believe they are still working on the website issues, but you can ask them questions on fb and they are very responsive. I have their front skid. Although I haven’t installed it since I am waiting on the next oil change to do it.
