Skid plate Q&A — I have questions if you have answers.

[Fireguy144]

no, why would you do that?

For corrosion resistance .

ok, haven't heard of a rusting issue with them but, ok

i agree. I have a few solid scratches/gouges on my front skid and can barely see them. If it where black, Well it would look like shit.

I haven't punctured my skid or caved it in... yet lol. But it's all kinda scratched up. I replaced my front bumper, which is black, so I bed lined my skid. When I wear through it, I just respray it...easy enough.

No idea. I've never seen the truck.

I have beat up my RCI skids for about 5 years on my Gen1. I bought the full set in steel with one aluminum for the gas tank. I have hit them very hard on a number of occasions that the factory ones would have never held up against. Mine were powder coated and other than some impact spots have held up well against the rust.

I also have the RCI “almost” rock sliders which are beefy but not frame attach. They have saved my rockers a few times and were also worth the money and a reasonable compromise at the time instead of building my own.

quality was fine.

the coverage was not. At least on the gen 2 there were inches on either side where a rock could destroy the transmission.
