Default Warn VS Rusty's T-Case Skids

Hey guys I'm looking for a transfer case skid plate for my 99 (NP321) Ive been looking and I see that both the Rusty's and Warn are $99. I was wondering which one yall think is best since they cost the same. Anybody got experience with either? I've seen the Rusty's on my buddys XJ and it looks beef.

Rustys in made in the USA, I would almost bet Warn's would be overseas. Warns has started to do some of their winches parts overseas but assm. them in the USA.

Rusty's Transfer Case Skid Plate is made of 3/16" steel and mounts to both the t-case crossmember and the unibody for a solid protection.



he WARN Transfer Case Skid Plate provides protection to the transfer case in off-roading situations. The product bolts onto the crossmember and unibody structure. Hole drilling is required. Includes spacers for use on lifted vehicles with lowered crossmembers.

they are both 3/16" but I like the warn design alot better for structure and mounting

I had the Rusty's one for a while and personally like that one better. The skid plate is angled some on the sides to help slide over objects and protects more. I've never got around to installing the Rusty's one so I don't have any actual experience but that's atleast the reason why I did pick it up.
