Frequently Asked Questions
Manganese steel or aluminum — which should I choose?
The 3 mm manganese steel plate is the right choice for serious rock crawling and repeated heavy impacts, because manganese steel work-hardens on impact. The 5 mm aluminum version is lighter and better suited to overlanding and moderate off-road use.
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. It bolts off and back on with basic tools in a few minutes.
Does this reduce my ground clearance?
The plate mounts flush to factory underbody points, so the loss of clearance is minimal — far less than the cost of a holed oil pan.
Can I buy all the skid plates together?
Yes — the complete manganese steel underbody protection kit bundles all four plates at a lower combined price.
