A Quality High Clearance T-Case Skid TJ
« on: March 26, 2012, 06:07:45 PM »
I'm looking to do a Flat belly T-case skid any particular brand or preference among the masses? Something that will be relatively easy to source in Calgary that works well. Any suggestions?

Savvy has that REAL nice Aluminium one....but it is a full under armour piece....and I'm not looking to spend that much, when all I want is a T-case  skid.

Jamal, Savvy is the way to go :)

Thanks again Bill for recommending their under armor - I couldn't be happier :)  no more high-centering for me!!!  Now, I just need to learn how to drive  ::)

The more I look into the Savvy the better option it seems to be...Huge advantage comes from just how low profile the skid is, in conjunction with overall design....it is hard to beat.

I'm liking the UCF now..., they have tons of options and are a little cheaper and still get great reviews. I'll probably do the full skid system which is similar to savvy.

Only one question remains Is the aluminium worth it? It's lighter, I just can't imagine it being too big of a difference....weight saving seems like a moot point when you consider the crap that gets bolted on to the jeep on a regular basis....I got the MTR/K's over the toyos I think that saved me enough weight that I can take on the steel skid  ;D

Well...taking entire savvy skid under armor off and putting it back on is easier (due to weight) than it was to lift the stock skid plate into place, so I think the aluminum is worth it for that reason alone...and there's a drain hole for changing the engine oil ;)

Ended up ordering UCF Ultra high clearance system, in ALUMINIUM. Turns out shipping is a little over double for steel due to the weight...so it was enough for me to switch.

You cannot  

I'll post photos though :o

Anyways I need to buy a pair of rear uppers...when i spot this..http://undercoverfab.com/long-arm-upgrades/114-ucf-long-arm-upgrade-kit-for-jeep-tj-wrangler.html  I can build my 3" lift into long arm setup....in the future......

I'll probably just get currie uppers..short arms are still good right?

A little more money, but hands down a FAR superior suspension. I would strongly suggest staying away from that RC suspension.
