Why Buy A Skid Plate From Throttle Down Kustoms?

A skid plate is a tough metal plate installed under a vehicle to protect important parts underneath from getting damaged when driving over rough terrain, like rocks or branches. They're especially important on off-road vehicles that are exposed to trail hazards.

A skid plate helps protect your undercarriage from damage during off-roading adventures (learn more about their job here). It keeps important components like the engine and transmission safe from rocks and other obstacles. Most avid off-roaders choose to install a skid plate because it's a simple upgrade that offers a great deal of protection.

The best skid plates (like those TDK offers) are made from strong steel: 1 1/2" tubular steel and 3/16" steel plate. This makes them very tough and able to protect your Jeep from hard hits.
