Yeah... I am having a hard time finding a 2014+ guard that I like and seems to look like it actually fits. The black version of the prospeed seems to be the best one so far, but not sold yet.

I'll be purchasing a prospeed front skid, I really like how it looks. Looking at possibly having the rest fabricated

Are you planning on getting rock rails? I've been eyeing the pro speed ones

Yep, but I'm a little hesitant with the "structural" running boards and their aluminum crumple zone. I know only the MY15 and 16s have these and none of the other previous body styles do, but it is something I have to get past.


I am very partial to Prospeed for some reason. I will for sure be getting their ladder, rack and a number of the roof rack accessories.

Probably the sliders at some point, maybe the sump guard and other undercarriage protection.

The running boards on our MYs are crazy strong for what it's worth. When I attended a 4 hour land rover experience last month the running boards made for great protection taking the full load of the vehicle as it slid across sketchy areas and even supported the vehicle when going up and over rocks/obstacles. My friend took his off and I was amazed with how heavy and sturdy they were. I personally like the looks of the prospeed rails...I just don't like the cost of the shipping...yikes! I also see in other threads that they don't always fit correctly (not just the prospeed ones) and that additional modification may be needed. There is also in issue with "creaking" which seems to be taken care of with foam tape.

Pulled the trigger on the front runner front skid, I really like it. Very clean welds, I like that it's already powder coated and it's stainless steel. It was super easy to put on...just bolts on, took 15 minutes to install. I plan on having the rest of the pieces fabricated via my father's machine shop

Does it maintain the factory skid under the engine?
