They are different. Stock ones are hard to find in decent shape, most of the aftermarket ones go over the factory ones so they don’t end up getting swapped out. You could get lucky, I have seen them occasionally. Not sure if it’s needed to replace a rusted out one, but I am still just running only my factory gas tank skid, Field & Forest and Brookridge has bashed the living daylights out of it but it’s holding up strong. I’ve been hesitant to replace it with a real one because I don’t want to give up the ground clearance I’ve gained with it, lol.

Just that Randy. The stock is just about to fall off with rot. So even if you buy an RE from quadratec it just bolts over the rotted one ? Do they all do that or do some replace the stock one. A friend stopped the other day with an immaculate 09 , then I pointed out the skid and hes freekin . Thanks for the info FjR68

Synergy and a couple others make them you completely replace and there are a couple others that make them that just go over existing. If he doesn’t wheel he is probably better off with just a stock replacement. Maybe one of the off road shops have a take-off one he can get cheap

That's right Frank and he will really freak when he sees the $450 price for a OEM.

I've installed a "real" skid over the factory one. It uses most of the bolts that the factory one uses with a few added that you drill holes into the factory one. I see no reason why it could not be used without the factory one in place. If you watch sales, you'll find one for a hundred bucks including shipping.
