Transmission skid

[Mike175]

I was thinking it would be better, and probably the weight negligible compared to the overall weight of these slobs.

Even though heavier, I went steel. Glad I did. And cheaper.

Who makes that skid?

Who makes that skid?

Store - Hefty Fabworks

I bought mine from @Witchy when she used to work for @Chris@FreedomMotorsports. I think he still sells them.

If you look under your truck, take a peek at the exhaust coming across from the driver side to meet at the Y from the passenger side. See how it hangs BELOW the cross member. Hmm....problem.

I went with the hefty works Aluminum skids because I am not a Baja kind of guy but the steel might be a better choice for rougher country. I did the engine, transmission and the transfer case. It takes a little longer to clean after a buddy day but well worth the extra protection. I debated the gas tank skid but felt that the factory plastic skid was adequate for me.

Also bought from Chris at Freedom Motorsports

I can get the skids for you, I would just have to check on the availability to see if they are in stock or if there would be a lead time on them.

Me and Jan smashed our exhaust at that same Y place this summer during our trip to Sahara...It took me one full day to remove the cats, cut/weld the broken part and put everything back properly...

Conclusion : I will be building a steel skid ASAP like @RDFTS

I recently finished my exhaust/engine/trans skid...Some pics attached for you guys if anyone needs inspiration

Made of 4mm thick steel, laser-cut and bent on edges, support tubes on the center, coated with Raptor linder...
Just required that cut you see on rear part, so it could clear the exhaust and fit the cross member nicely...Need to take pictures of it on the truck...

Thx @RDFTS for giving me the ideas to build my skid plate afteer seeing his build...

Where is the hole to get to the oil plug?

No hole for that, removing the skid is a 5min job so you can have access to the oil plug, and not spill oil everywhere when you drain that oil (ask me how I know lol).

Got my trans and transfer case skids for RCI offroad. Heavy duty 3/16 steel powder coated. These things are solid.
