Ok Gladiator family! Who has the best skid plate system for the Gladiator and why is it better! All experiences and feedback welcome.

I definitely would want to do that as wellI really wanted Artec but couldn't justify that price... The one thing they do I wish others did is remove the factory gas tank skid. That has to be 40lbs or more which is significant when you're adding the weigh of a skid system. Definitely something I'm going to look into resolving.
When you do, can you document the hell out of how they support the tank? It appears to be a rear crossmember and strap and I'd like to build something similar for my setup if it turns out the crossmember wouldn't fit or if Artec won't sell the crossmember separately.My Artec just arrived today. I'll report back after I install it. Hopefully in the next two weeks or so I will get a chance.
This document is the best I have found so far. Scroll down and you can see pictures of the fuel tank skid removal and install. It's on a JL but that shouldn't matter. If there is something more specific that would help let me know and I will try to get pictures for you.When you do, can you document the hell out of how they support the tank?
