LC250 Skid Plate System overview

The LC250 series aluminum skid system was designed to save weight yet still provide enough protection and coverage for people that don’t tackle the most difficult rock crawling trails. The skid system starts at the lower radiator support and flows just past the transfer case.

Features:

• Uses factory mounting points for ease of installation and serviceability.
• Louvers allow crud to escape and be easily washed out, excess heat to flow out, and adds rigidity to the plating. They are formed in a way that doesn’t impede forward motion and aids in airflow.
• Most of the structural integrity comes from the side that is not visible when installed. This keeps structural components from becoming snags in the roots and rocks. It also allows for maximum clearance. The skid system uses many OEM load dispersion points to protect vital drivetrain components all while making sure that the engine oil filter and oil drain plug remain easily accessible.
• They are easy to install and remove. Part of having a good skid system is making sure that it can be removed. Even with normal cleaning and features that allow crud egress, it’s important to clean the covered areas from time to time.

The  rearmost catalytic converter is still accessible however with the guards installed it would not be able to cut the front easily thus preventing removal of the catalytic converters.

These guards and not designed to be a 100% theft proof system but will significantly delay the effort and hopefully the thief would move on to the next vehicle.

Made from corrosion resistant stainless steel the are supplied with tamper proof hardware. The installation requires the holes to be drilled in older versions of SOK2001.
