I was wondering if anyone has experience using this RE oil skid plate. I have 2015 JKU Hard Rock, 6 speed manual transmission. Looking for something reasonable to offer some added protection.

My concern is that the drain plug hole looks like a scoop to collect crap

Yes, sir.
I'd be strapping a couple pieces of duct tape across that opening just to keep it from turning into an excavator and holding a load of dirt....
 
Well the consensus seems to clearly be against RE products. Any recommendations? I am not sure if interested / excited in loosing the engine mount bolts to install a skid plate, but could if I needed to.
 
Thank you mrjp! I took a look at it. Looks like need to order a cross brace from them with this system. I am looking at the system from Rock Hard if anyone has experience with it. Also an aluminum one from Quadratec but leaning towards the one from rock hard. Looks like a decent setup. I don’t plan on heavy rock crawling. Of course did the Rubicon 3 times with my YJ 😁.
