To enter to win just post up a reply to this thread, one post per person. Feel free to include photos that show why you might need the protection of a heavy duty skid plate. A winner will be chosen on Friday May 9th 2008.
Product Details:
Serious off-road protection for your transfer case and exhaust. Heavy duty design takes impacts and directs the force up to the frame, away from expensive drive train components. Skid plate is made from 3/16" plate steel and attaches to the frame via 1.5" .120 tubing. Bolt on installation utilizing existing threaded mounting points on the frame. Protects both the transfer case and the exhaust crossover tube. Powdercoated gloss black finish, ready to install. Kit includes mounting hardware and instructions. Kit price $249
I will post pics here later as I have no skids and the damage underneath from a trip to Katemcy Rocks a few months ago is VERY evident!
Thanks for the oppertunity to get some free stuff Trail Gear and thanks for my awesome Rock Sliders that helped protect my bodywork from getting damaged!
I forgot about this climb where I was dragging bottom and had to get tugged over the top...
...and in this video you can hear why I love taking my kids with me, listen at the very end, "Cool!"...

Thanks Trail Gear! I have a set of your sliders and I love them. About 10% of my driving is off road, mostly during vacations up north and out west. Right now I have no protection underneath and your new transfer case skid plate would be great protection for my FJ. Nice looking product!

I like it, I myself am still skidless,i'm waiting for the right product to add to my ride. Not too many rocks around, but I want to protect my investment. It seems to want to take a beating!
