Skid Plates

Guard the expensive parts underneath.

Overview

Skid Plates

Skid plates protect your engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank from rocks and hard hits — the difference between a scrape and a trail-ending repair.

One rock in the wrong place can end a trip — or cost thousands. Skid plates armor the expensive, hard-to-reach parts underneath so a hit becomes a scrape instead of a tow home and a repair bill.

Questions

Good to know

Which skid plates do I actually need?

It depends on where you wheel. At minimum, most rigs want engine and transmission protection; rocky terrain calls for transfer-case and fuel-tank plates too.

Do skid plates make service harder?

Good plates are designed with access in mind — drain plugs and service points stay reachable, so oil changes are not a fight.

Steel or aluminum?

Steel is tougher and cheaper; aluminum is lighter but costs more. We will help you choose based on your terrain and weight goals.
