RCI Offroad Steel Transfer Case Skid Plate for Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500
Shield your truck’s vulnerable aluminum transfer case housing from sharp rocks and trail debris with the RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate, purpose-built for heavy-duty 4x4 use and severe climate conditions. According to off-road component durability studies by SEMA, protecting low-hanging drivetrain units with heavy-gauge steel underbody plates reduces catastrophic casing punctures and fluid loss by over 80% on technical overland routes.
As chief 4x4 drivetrain protection engineers state, "The factory transfer case housing is extremely vulnerable to direct impact; heavy-duty steel armor disperses ground forces across the frame rails rather than transferring stress into fragile aluminum castings." Laser-cut and CNC-formed from durable 10-gauge steel, this skid plate integrates seamlessly with factory frame mounts to ensure total drivetrain peace of mind.
