Ive installed all three skid plates found on the Trailhunter. Front Bash Plate, Transmission Plate, and Differential skid. Ive seen some confusion as to weather or not they are steel, they definitely are. They are heavy and magnets stick. Some important notes before buying, all the front bash plates fit every Offroad, Pro, and TH model Hybrid or not, The Diff skid and Transmission Plate are different part numbers and sizes for non Hybrids. Installation for the diff skid was slightly more compliacted but still very straightforward and easy. The other plates just bolted on.

Going for Sliders next, thinking RCI but feel free to leave recommendations. These steps can't take much more abuse and ive been taking it easy lol.

I did the Westcott sliders, but I don't really think it's a world of difference. End of the day, it's a overweight hunk of welded crap bolted to the truck.

Looking good. Do you have the part number for the differential skid?

I can definitely recommend Westcott Designs rock sliders. Have them on my truck. They not only bolt on the sides of the truck frame but underneath as well. Great as a step for anyone that needs it or to reach anything on the roof rack, if you have one. Like TRUSTBUTVERIFY said it’s just a hunk of metal bolted on. Westcott is good but I’d go with whatever fits your budget.
