The Rival 4x4 steel transfer case skid plate is a heavy-duty underbody protection component designed to shield the transfer case and surrounding drivetrain elements from impacts and damage during off-road driving. It protects critical components from rocks, obstacles, deep ruts, and mud, ensuring the vehicle remains reliable even in demanding terrain.
Key Features
High-strength steel construction – provides maximum resistance to impacts, deformation, and abrasion. Perfect for heavy off-road use and professional applications.
Reinforced, stamped design – strategically shaped and strengthened to increase rigidity and impact resistance without unnecessary added bulk.
Bolt-on installation – fits directly to factory mounting points, eliminating the need for drilling or vehicle modification.
Durable protective coating – corrosion-resistant finish designed to withstand moisture, road salt, and harsh environmental conditions.
Integrated drainage and ventilation openings – help remove water, mud, and debris while supporting proper cooling of drivetrain components.
Maintains ground clearance – engineered to follow the contour of the underbody without reducing off-road capability.
Ideal Use
Off-road terrain: rocks, ruts, gravel, forest trails, and muddy environments.
Overlanding, expedition travel, and recreational or competitive off-road driving.
Professional applications: forestry, construction sites, utility and service vehicles.
Drivers seeking maximum protection for their vehicle’s drivetrain and underbody.
Benefits of a steel skid plate
Provides the highest level of impact protection.
Ensures long-term durability and reliability in demanding conditions.
