Quality fit and materials
Retro Rubicon 3 years ago
I finally got a chance to install this with my friend. The aluminum is really light but having a second set of hands around was key. The install is pretty straight forward between the instructions and the videos available on the Artec website. Really only had one hang up trying to remove the OEM strap but was able to figure it out after a few tries and some cursing. You MUST remove the bolt on the rail side in order to get enough slack in the strap to pull it down and free it from the OEM skid plate. From and instruction perspective, the only really confusing part is that the mounts for the front of the oil pan skid both only have one hole and it references two holes on the passenger side. You will also have extra bolts and spacers depending on what year you have. The perfectly smooth bottom with recessed bolt heads will be a huge improvement over the OEM bolt heads that I had almost sheared off on rocks anyway. Looking forward to trying these out at Winrock in May!

Great Tool for your JL!

I have a 2.0L Turbo JLUR and upgraded to 35 inch tires. I did not realize how off my speedometer was until my wife was following me on the highway and asked why I was driving so fast. This programmer allowed me to adjust my wheel size and in doing so fixed my shift points. My driving speed was fixed and I picked up 1-2 mpg to boot. Was very easy to use with only one call out, once you connect the device, it is very hard to remove it. I broke the weak mount but it was easy to fix. I had the similar unit for my JK and never had any issues, I expect to get the same performance from this one too!

Inexpensive Peace of Mind!

I picked these up after a Jeep Jamboree run where I was lucky to not bang up my shock mounts too much but others did not fare as well on the ride. I looked at the other MFG's offerings but for the price and design, I really liked the EVO Protek Rear Shock Skids. The install took all of about 15 minutes and the hardest part was making sure the rear shock does not fully extend because then you have to fight it back up to remount it. I have had these installed for about a month now and so far, everything is safe and sound. I have not had a hard hit on them yet but they seem very well built and ready to take it. The finish on the skids is a semi gloss and looks good. I expect many years of good service from them.
