4 X Fortress Front Bumper install
One of the biggest modifications next to a lift and tires and wheels on a Jeep or any vehicle are the front and rear bumpers. The front bumper defines the very look and characterists of a Jeep. If your Jeep has a weak front bumper then you have a weak Jeep. If you have a tough, stout bumper then you have a tough Jeep. Now you can rush out and purchase a tough looking bumper or you can lay down the cash for a bumper that does exactly what it looks like. We contacted our friends over at 4 x Fortress and they said they had exactly what we where looking for.
Home Made YJ Radiator Skid-plate
While inspecting the underside of my 93 YJ after doing some brush busting I noticed that the bottom of my radiator had some scratches, though nothing serious. I then realized it could have been serious. I decided to build a radiator skid plate.
RockCrusher Dana30
A while back it was very clear to me that undercarriage protection is required while climbing around on the trail. There has been many times when a good wack to the rear diff was heard from inside the cab. I purchased a Dana35 RockCrusher a few months back and the Dana30s have been on back order a while. Heres my review and comparison of the RockCrusher to the stock cover.

RockCrusher Dana35 Diff Cover
Im not sure about the rest of you, but after a few wacks on my front or rear Diff cover I begin to get nervous. For me it was protecting not only my gears, but my ARB locker install.
When I dropped my Jeep off at Northride4x4 they just recieved a shipment of RockCrushers in and I was one of the first to actually hold my little Dana35 cover. Dave said here check this out its the baby of the group. I must admit seeing the Dana44 it was the runt of the litter.
Toys By Troy oil pan skid
m not sure about the rest of you, but there has been many times when I wondered when or how am I going to punch a hole in my oil pan.
There are a few companies like Skidrow and Warn that make full size engine skids that cover from the oil pan back to the transmission. However Ive read many posts on many forums about others having issues with the mounting brackets not fitting right or clanging on the driveline while flexing.
There are other companines like NthDegreeMobilty who have come up with a skid that wraps around the oil pan and simply protects it only. As well along comes Toys By Troy with a very simple and very cost effective skid. This skid is very close to the oil tank and mounts very simply.
Any Jeep going off-road where rocks or large steps are a part of the play ground will need some type of rocker protection. You may think you're not in need of this protection because you're a cautious driver. While you're telling yourself this, keep in mind that all it takes is one slip and your freshly messed up rockers will no longer allow the door to open or close.

How to install your AtoZ rockers
By yzergod
Well, the day had come and my rockers from AtoZ Fabrications had finally arrived. I was like a kid who knew he was getting a new bicycle! I prepared my TJ by washing the area the rockers were going to be installed on (not the whole Jeep as that would have taken too much valuable install time) and gathered the needed tools.

Kilby Gastank Skidplate
If you wheel your Jeep, this has got to be one of the very first mods you do. When it comes to gastank skidplates, Kilby is the name to go with.
