Aluminum or Steel skid plate for TRD OR

[GrumpyPants44]

Hey guys and girls,

So I'm in the process of pricing out some modifications to the truck and i am wondering what y'alls opinions are on aluminum vs steel skid plates. I am not an every weekend off-roader and don't think i will be sliding this on a rock in the near future. I think for the weight difference I was going to go for aluminum as it will protect the underside a lot better than the factory felt one. The one I'm currently looking at is the Cali Raised ones. I like that they are a Texas company and well made but reasonably priced. What do y'all think? The price between the aluminum vs the steel is only about $50 which I'm not too worried about.

I went with these. Shipping for some reason was only $20-25. For engine and trans skids, 6mm thick stamped aluminum. I can easily jack the pickup up from the engine skid plate. Easy access to change oil as well.
