These skid plates are made from 1/4" thick steel and reinforced with 1/4" angle
to provide beefy protection for your engine's oil pan and your transmission. Installation
is quick and easy and only requires drilling of two holes to attach the rear of
our skid plate to whatever transfer case skid plate you are using. There is even
an oil drain hole so that you can perform your regular maintenance without removing
the skid plate. Take a look at the pictures below!

We provide carriage bolts to attach our skid plate to the transfer case skid plate.
Why not use counter sunk bolts? Simply because we've had problems removing counter
sunk bolts after they've been run over rocks a few times. Metal always seems to
get pushed into the recessed hex. Also, once a little rust gets into the threads,
getting enough torque to break them loose without stripping out the hex can be VERY
difficult to say the least! We've had to drill countersunk bolts out in the past
and can't say we were happy about it. By using carriage bolts the bottom is smoother
than with a hex head bolt and there is a nut on top that you can get a wrench or
socket onto. We've found that we like carriage bolts much better
|
Which one fits?
-
To determine which model skid plate you need simply take a measurement from the
engine's oil drain plug to the leading edge of the transfer case skid plate. You'll
get a measurement of approximately 16" or 20".
|
Please Note: Fits 6 cylinder models ONLY.
- Also, if you have an aftermarket exhaust header that goes under your engine or transmission,
our skid plate may not fit properly. An example would be the Borla exhaust header
for 1997 model TJ's.
- If you're unsure, it's best to contact us
and ask.

This picture shows how the skid plate looks from the front of the vehicle. You can
see the clearance for the control arms and driveshaft, as well as how much protection
it provides.
|
|
This shot from the rear of the Jeep shows how nice and smooth the underside of your
Jeep becomes when our skid plate is added. The suspension used on the vehicle pictured
is from Rubicon Express.
|
|
While not a perfect shot, you can see how the front of the skid plate is supported.
Those strut rods attach to the chassis portion of the motor mounts, just like our
regular engine skid plate. Nut plates are provided and no drilling is required at
the front. (Please note that the vehicle shown has raised motor mounts and custom
silver powder-coated skids.)
