    I have the RCI aluminum one piece skid. Great quality skid but the hardware they provide is not stainless or galvanized. I purchased my own stainless hardware.

    I ordered a new hardware kit when I did my diff drop. I wanted to freshen up the bolts this why I got the whole hardware kit. It included the new retaining washers and thought they were a pain so I just ignored them.

    Kids fetch high premiums especially in sweat shops that manufacture pet clothing accessories. Their tiny little hands are the perfect size to weave tiny pet hats and sweaters.

    I just installed my RCI skid plate yesterday. And I didn't use the retaining washers either. If I had issues keeping the bolts in place, I would have though.

    I have a Question for you guys in regards to the two piece design... My truck is a pavement princess and due to life’s circumstances the dealership will be doing all the oil changes. I recently purchased the two piece engine skid from RCI. Has anyone just used the front piece as not the piece that covers the oil plug? And is it possible? The whole reason I bought it was to NOT have to remove the skid plate when changing oil. So I feel the back plate is going to get covered in oil without a Fumoto valve. Which I am not going to do because it’s going to a dealership. The RCI measures about the same as the OEM so it should have about the same coverage which is more than adequate for my purposes.

    Thanks!

    I have the 2 pieces design. the back plate does get a bit of oil spill but just use a rag to clean it up when underneath.

    Someone scraped the kickout (better than dinging my door) a while back and I noticed some surface rust yesterday. I called RCI today and Krylon Rust Tough Semi Flat Black is their recommended color match.

    I couldn't find that answer here or on the internets, so I'll post it here for someone else to find. Probably a good thing to use once you see the scrape instead of waiting like me, especially in the winter.

    I like the surface rust but we don’t see much winter weather here. Means you’re using them... patina.

    Does anyone know a 4x4 shop to buy this RCI Skid plate from in the NW? trying to save on shipping from Colorado to Petersburg, Alaska. Shipping is stated as $165. Any input appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Stage3Motorsports offers free shipping but I do not know if that includes Alaska.

    Also remember if using RCI’s site the coupon code is TW for a little bit of savings.

    Most of the time you are just ordering through a 3rd party vendor. It will still ship directly from RCI.
