Finally got around to installing the ARB skids. Feel a little safer now on trails

looks like it covers more than the factory one around the trans case for sure! nice

Not bad. I did it myself with no problems. I did use a jack to help support the transmission section when installing. The instructions suck. There is another thread on here somewhere that helps clarify where some bolts are used that is helpful. Careful not to snap the cage nuts. I broke one of mine so one of the bolts isn't tightened on very much but its still super solid once it's all said and done

More protection for sure. I bounced off the stock bash plate (the non FX4 one) a couple of times and put some dents in it but the ARB feels like it will take significantly more abuse without denting.

No major changes recently. I did get the Start X system installed which is nice. The app works almost all the time but it's just easier to be able to do it from the key fob at times.

I did pick up this guy on black Friday for $350that I need to install. I'm looking forward to that
