RCI Off Road Skid Plates – Ultimate Undercarriage Protection for Serious Off-Roaders

Protect your Frontier with an RCI Offroad engine skid plate. This plate protects and provides full coverage of the front of the vehicle including the front differential, oil pan, and radiator cross-member.

Underbody damage is costly. Protect your investment with the high quality transmission skid plate by RCI Offroad. Ties in seamlessly with RCI engine and transfer-case skid plates or used as a stand-alone item.

Built with your choice CNC laser cut 3/16″ steel or 1/4″ aluminum, this plate is custom fit to protect the transmission of all 2005 to present Frontiers with premium quality, fit and finish.

3/16″ Steel– Great all-purpose protection, and the best value for the money. These make a great upgrade whether you already have the stock skid plates, or have nothing at all. Our 10 gauge skid plates are far tougher than OEM and provide significantly more coverage.

1/4” Aluminum– Excellent all around protection for daily drivers, and much stronger than factory skid plates. Rust and corrosion resistant aluminum means they require no paint finish prior to installation. The aluminum material is substantially lighter than steel and thanks to its extra thickness it is just as strong.
