I installed a set of the Quadratec aluminum Skid plates this weekend. I couldn't find much if any on here about them, but some of the guys over on the JL forum are running them and are happy with them. The fit and finish is good, everything fit with no cutting or drilling. The oil pan skid includes a new stringer crossmember to replace the factory auto trans "skid". The transfer case skid is a full replacement for the factory skid and also includes a new crossmember as well. The gas tank skid fits over the existing skid, so removing the tank is not required.
Instructions were pretty good, although in a couple places they listed the wrong bolts/sizes, but I was able to figure it out pretty easily. One important point was to get the gas as low as you can because at one point they have5 of the 8 bolts holding the gas tank in removed. Even being under 1/8 of a tank it did sag down a bit, so I would defintitely recommend low on gas before attempting that skid. Also worth noting, as they do, you have to put on the oil pan and transfer case skids first if you're running all 3.
All in all I'm really happy with these, especially at the just over $1000 price point for the set.
Here's some terrible pictures I took while trying to lay on the ground and photograph them lol
