Description

The Belly Pan replaces the existing transmission cross member and provides protection for the transfercase, torsion bar mounts and catalytic converters. It also serves as a theft deterent for the catalytic converters. Formed out of 3/16″ High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA). The intermediate guard and front plate are available in 5052 aluminum. All plates are supplied in black powder coat.

High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) has nearly twice the strength and  impact resistance of general purpose mild steel (A1011 and A36). 30-36ksi Yield strength vs 50ksi yield strength minimum.

The belly plate bolts in using factory locations as well as three new holes that need to be drilled and fitted with M10 rivet nuts. The rivet nuts are supplied with the skid plate, however the tooling is not. We can supply that if needed.

The plate has a hole located underneath the drain plug of the transfer case to ensure easy fluid changes.

The plate also have a flange on the front that serves as the mounting area for the intermediate Guard. The Belly Plate can be used as a stand alone system or as the starting point for the skid plate system.

A 2.5″ hole facilitates fluid draining without the need to remove the skid plate.
