Frequently Asked Questions
What is manganese steel, and why is it better than mild steel?
Manganese steel is a work-hardening alloy — it gets harder each time it is struck. That makes it resist denting and deformation from rock strikes far better than standard mild steel.
Manganese steel or aluminum — which should I choose?
The 3 mm manganese steel plate suits serious rock crawling and repeated heavy impacts. The 5 mm aluminum version is lighter and better suited to overlanding, fire roads, and moderate off-road use.
Do I need to remove this for servicing?
Yes — the plate comes off for underside maintenance access, using basic hand tools.
Can I buy all the skid plates together?
Yes — the complete manganese steel underbody protection kit bundles the plates at a lower combined price.
