Hello, I just got my Black H3 Alpha Adventure. I LOVE IT! I've been reading this forum for a while now waiting for my old lease to expire. No Photos yet, she is still bone stock. You all know what one looks like. But, not for long. I have 5 315/75-16 MTZs, Underbody Shield Package, Rocky Road Supersliders on the way. I have a few questions for the hardcore wheelers.

Rear Axle Skid Plates. Are they worth the @ $200+? Do they really work? I will be taking her wheeling as often as I can. Mounds, Tippy Dam and Drummond Island.

Can you recommend a brush guard for the 08 Alpha? I really think the factory one is not worth the $.

Is there anything better than the "blue painters tape" to protect her from getting brush scars? That 3M stuff?

Last one (thanks for the time): has anyone damaged their rear diff? Should I get the Rear Differential Skid Plate also?

It's a 2 year lease and the more I can protect her the better I will feel when I wheel her real hard?
