    Hey all, I wrote a review of my RCI engine skidplate for the launch of TrailTundras. I won't repeat everything here, and I'll link the full article below, but in summary:

    I purchased the skidplate over 3 years ago, and have been using it in every sort of terrain. Through saltwater after hurricanes in the Lowcountry, terrible "roads" (doubt they even meet the definition) in the Cascades, to rocky hillsides in Tennesee, and of course the interstates and highways in-between. All that to say, this skidplate has seen it's fair share.

    The article has my full thoughts and details on the specifics of the skidplate, but I highly recommend this product. If you're looking for a skidplate or want a quick read, check out the article here

    Nice, looks like its holding up really well. I have one of these sitting in my garage ready to install. Switching out from the TRD Pro skid so i can run LCA skids too.

    You're gonna love it. It's knowingly saved my butt quite a few times, who knows how many times unknowingly.

    Yeah I am a huge fan of belly armor. Its such cheap insurance, especially when offroading. I dont do any crazy rock crawling in the beast, but there has still been times that some branch has gotten stuck under there in some potentially dangerous spots, and I have scratches right underneath the pan and Tcase and the gas tank. I just like the peace of mind I guess.
