Skid Plates and Underbody Protection
Skid plates, underbody guards, control arm shields and inner guard liners protect vulnerable components from rocks, ruts and road debris. They suit four-wheel drives and rally-prepared cars where the transfer case, fuel tank, differential and suspension arms sit exposed. These laser-cut steel and alloy plates bolt to factory mounting points without permanent modification. This range is part of our Exterior and Aero category.

Choosing the Right Part
- Match the chassis code: each plate is designed for a specific chassis, such as JB74, JL, JLU, JT, PX, UA, AN120/AN130, AN150/AN160, J120, GSJ15 or RV. Check your vehicle's chassis code before ordering.
- Check the body style: some parts are body-specific. For example, the Jimny (JB74) inner guard liner sets come in a separate 5-door version, and some Jeep parts suit the Wrangler Unlimited (JLU) only.
- Pick the component you need to protect: choose a dedicated plate for the transfer box, fuel tank, carbon canister, shock absorbers, lower arms or ride height sensor, or choose a full underside guard where one is listed.
- Replacement hardware: the replacement C-clamp suits the HARDRACE transfer box skid plate, part number Q0761.
