I have the all pro front ifs with the tranny skid, i just ordered the lower link skids what else do i need im thinking finishing the all pro setup with the t-case skid but i was underneath the rig and the control arms looked like they took some bruises any thoughts on thats?

Might want to look into some new all pro upper and lower links. Maybe even the diff skids.

do you think this is really needed or can wait till i start hitting them? Because so far they have come out un-touched

LCAs should be on or near the top of your list if you ever traverse rocks, and it sounds like you do.

If you bend/break a LCA on the trail you are stuck. If you're on rocks, I'd upgrade. I added the rear shock skids too, just to have peace of mind.

well i just ordered the skid that protects the links but, dont have enough money to buy the whole thing. will they break right away from light wheeling or are we talking bending first. Or is it snapping in half?

Just don't drop the LCA's onto any large rocks, and you should be fine.

thats what im thinking too. I guess ill hope for the best be cheap and when it bends ill replace them and hope that it doesnt break them right then and there.

Correct, be weary that it is an achilles heel of the FJ of sorts. Try and keep it out of harms way until you can replace them. The only real danger facing them is rocks. If you run in rocks alot, well, save quickly.

i dont run rocks alot usually its just one or two in the middle of the trail that i have to go up and over, but i have not been wheeling in the spots i usually go since my lift so i might be able to dodge those now.
