Skid Plate Recommendations
I'd like to outfit a 2014 LR4 with two mods: an internal winch and full set of skid plates, but I'm having trouble finding LR4 (North American) specific skid plates- most sites seem to have LR3 plates they are selling for LR4. Ideally the plates would be 6mm aluminum, and include a front skidplate compatible with an internal winch, a gearbox protection, a transfer case protection, radiator protection, and gas tank protection. Asfir and Rasta seem to have LR3 specific but not LR4 specific plates. Tactical Rover has an LR4 specific transfer case plate, but their gas tank protection is for "LR3/LR4"- I'm not sure that's going to really fit well. Moreover, I'd like to buy all the plates at once from one manufacturer so that I know they are compatible with each other. I'm not a machinist.
Ultimately, we are also looking to add rock sliders on the sides, a rack up top for deer lights (our southern version of safari lights), lights up front, and a ladder in the back. This is our first 4x4, we have some money to spend on mods, we want to have fun with it!
Thanks for your advice!

Be aware that the MY14 plate is different to previous D4 models.
Fortunately, site member/sponsor and ace maker of all things metallic, RLD, is making some MY14 plates as I type. At least I hope he is as I can't wait to get mine
Send him a pm, I doubt it would be too expensive to ship one to you. Especially as his prices are so good.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
