<p>I have a full set of Ricochet HD skid plates. They haven't let me down. I've had them for 2.5 years now and they have been holding up. I've scraped and banged them over rocks and have been to Long Canyon and Hollister Hills; however, I don't rock crawl. I've even used the engine plate as an anchor point with my floor jack to lift up my truck and so far no dents.

It fits nicely with my Exp One bumper and filler plate.</p>

Thanks LumbaJak. Good rank with awesome info. Hey you have been running them for awhile. Are the oil changes pretty easy, do we have to take the plates off to accomplish this?

<p>I've been rocking my ricochet skids for years now. I've ran many different trails from slick rock to the beginnings of fordyce to the back third of the rubicon. I've seen lots of rocks and everything in between. They have held up just fine! Although they do have some dents and scrapes but hey thats why I got them so they would take the punishment..

<p>I've been rocking my ricochet skids for years now. I've ran many different trails from slick rock to the beginnings of fordyce to the back third of the rubicon. I've seen lots of rocks and everything in between. They have held up just fine! Although they do have some dents and scrapes but hey thats why I got them so they would take the punishment.. I honestly think it is just up to the user. Am I saving some MPGs by going aluminum? Maybe, maybe not.. Am i sacrificing protection? Definitely not. They both protect your belly and will help you get out of tough situations. All depends on which ones you think look better lol I could keep going saying bud builts are smoother to help you slide over rocks easier but they also hang down lower. I've wheeled with people running every different kind of skid out there; arb, asfir, all-pro, ricochet, buds and many more. All where you want to spend your money bud! Sorry for the rant.. Hope it was at least somewhat helpful</p>
