Rugged Ridge Muffler Skid
Since the Poison Spyders skid didn’t take me very long to install, it was time to move on to my Ruddge Ridge Muffler skid. This is another part of the JK that is vulnerable to getting smashed up, especially with all the ledges around Moab that you need to drop off of.
Low hanging muffler in the back, that I want to keep in good shape:

The muffler should be protected:
The install on this skid did not go quite as smoothly as the first one. I’m not sure if there are differences between the 2010 JK and previous years, or the 2-door, but I was missing some studs underneath the Jeep that the instructions said I was supposed to use. Instead, there were holes there. Luckily I was able to find some nuts and bolts in the garage and used those instead. Other than that, the install did go pretty smoothly 🙂
