I'm wanting to put some real skid plates on my LC and debating between the RCI and the Greenlane. I'll be getting the aluminum in either one, most likely the bare metal. Cost is comparable for the engine & transmission skids. The RCI has access holes for maintenance, although I suspect pulling them makes the job easier. I know both engine skids mount to the radiator mount - GreenLane says they do additional gussets to strengthen that area. I've got the GreenLane sliders so I know the quality of their work, have RCI stuff on my GX470 and have never had an issue.
Anyone seen both or have opinions on one of them? Also with aluminum is there any reason to powder coat them?
