Frequently Asked Questions
What does this plate cover?
Both the engine — oil pan and gearbox — and the transfer case, in a single plate with no exposed gap between them.
Aluminum or manganese steel — which should I choose?
The 5 mm aluminum plate is lighter and well suited to overlanding, fire roads, and moderate off-road use. The 3 mm manganese steel version work-hardens on impact and is the better choice for serious rock crawling and repeated heavy strikes.
Why is the aluminum plate thicker than the steel one?
Aluminum is less dense than steel, so a thicker section is used to reach comparable protection while still coming in lighter overall.
Do I need to remove this for oil changes?
Yes. The plate must come off to reach the sump for oil changes and other underside maintenance.
Can I buy all the skid plates together?
Yes — the complete aluminum skid plate kit bundles the plates at a lower combined price.
