Noob question #1!
I have a 98 Sahara, relatively stock-ish. Hate to admit it but coil spacers to fit 31s. I like to do things right the first time so maybe someday build it right for 33s but for now having a great time cruising on the trails. Not into rocks but even on trails you come across plenty of obstacles. Bonked stuff more than once on the trail below.
Looking around underneath I think I need an engine/trans skid ASAP. I've already added to much weight to an already heavy hardtop (had a CJ5 with just a bikini for years so this feels like a tank) so I've been eyeballing either an undercover Fab or savvy aluminum skid. They seem comparable and reading up both appear to be able to work with my stock transfer skid with not much extra work. Tummy tuck may or may not be in the future and it sounds like both would work with that too (not sure if I have less time or $, and dont want to have to spend the money twice if I can help it). Leaning towards savvy since they're close and the fact that they cost a few bucks less doesn't hurt.
Any reason to get one over the other? Any others I should look at?
Thanks!
